Jesus’ Fulfillment
Kingdom Implication
Moses Ascends Sinai (Exodus 19-20)
Jesus Ascends the Mountain (Matthew 5:1)
Jesus is the New Moses, but speaks as God Himself.
Mosaic Covenant – External Law
Beatitudes – Kingdom Covenant of Heart Posture
Covenant shifts from law on stone to law on hearts (Jeremiah 31:33).
Deuteronomy 28 Blessings & Curses
Matthew 5: Blessings; Luke 6: Blessings + Woes
Jesus redefines blessing—not based on material prosperity but on Kingdom posture.
Isaiah 61 Jubilee Mission
Jesus Proclaims Fulfillment (Luke 4); Embodied in Beatitudes (Matt 5 / Luke 6)
Jubilee is not just economic reset; it’s holistic restoration—spiritual & social.
Matthew (Jewish Audience – Heart)
Luke (Gentile Audience – Societal Reversal)
One Gospel, two lenses: inward transformation & outward justice.
By way of His’ announcement of the Kingdom and what it’s population would look like/the identity they would maintain, Jesus is announcing Himself as the long-awaited Messiah.
