Matthew 5:17-20
Fulfilling the Law
Readers Theater
by Dr. Ralph F. WilsonPart of a study on the Sermon on the Mount
READER 1 | Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; |
READER 2 | The Old Testament |
READER 3 | The Torah |
READER 4 | Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy |
READER 2 | The Prophets |
READER 3 | Isaiah, Jeremiah |
READER 4 | Elijah |
READER 1 | Ezekiel |
READER 2 | Hosea |
READER 3 | Amos |
READER 4 | Malachi |
READER 1 | Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; |
READER 2 | I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. |
READER 1 | I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, |
READER 2 | A jot |
READER 3 | The tiny Hebrew letter "Yod" [rhythmes with "road"] |
READER 1 | not the least stroke of a pen, |
READER 2 | A tittle |
READER 3 |
A tittle? |
READER 4 | The minute hook that distinguishes one Hebrew letter from another |
READER 1 | Not a jot nor a tittle |
READER 2 | will by any means disappear from the Law |
READER 3 | until everything is accomplished. |
READER 4 | until everything is fulfilled. |
READER 2 | Fulfilled |
READER 3 | Brought to completion |
READER 4 | Happened as it was prophesied |
READER 2 | Accomplished |
READER 3 | Fulfilled |
READER 1 | until everything is accomplished. |
READER 2 | until everything is fulfilled. |
READER 1 | Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments |
READER 2 | Disobeys |
READER 3 | Ignores |
READER 4 | Sins |
READER 2 | and blithely goes on his merry way |
READER 1 | Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments |
READER 2 | The tiniest |
READER 3 | The least command |
READER 1 | and teaches others to do the same |
READER 2 | will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, |
READER 1 | but whoever practices and teaches these commands |
READER 2 | Obeys them |
READER 3 | Follows Them |
READER 4 | Instructs others to obey them |
READER 2 | Teaches others to follow them |
READER 3 | Will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. |
READER 1 | For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, |
READER 2 | Unless you have a heart towards God |
READER 3 | Rather than a brittle concern for what people think about your righteousness |
READER 1 | you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven. |
READER 2 | The Kingdom |
READER 3 | That realm where God rules |
READER 4 | Where he rules you, |
READER 2 | Rules your heart |
READER 3 | Your heart and soul and mind and strength. |
READER 4 | The Rule of God |
READER 1 | The Kingdom of God |
ALL | Jesus' Kingdom. |
