Matthew 5:17 (“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.”).

Jesus was the Sacrificial unblemished man that God offered, gave, (John 3:16) to mankind, God's only begotten son, as the "FIRST BORN" of man, unblemished, and/or, uncompromised by temptation of every kind, who would fulfill the old testament requirement for a once and for all propitiation offering for sin. However, in order to fulfill the "WHOLE" law, it was to be the high priest from the tribe of Levi that had to bring the blood to the mercy seat in the Holy of Holy's as an acceptable offering in accordance with God's requirement; only then would God pass over their Sins. The Holy Spirit tells us from the bible that God partially blinded the Jews so they could not clearly see or understand Jesus as the their Messiah, because if God had not blinded them, and they could see Jesus as their Messiah, who would have bruised Him, or beat Him, or caused Him to suffer, let alone die. But Jesus came to die for us because only His unblemished blood from His death would get God to pour out His spirit upon all flesh. Every aspect of God's ridged requirement of the law was fulfilled.

Apart from the Jew, God would not have accepted the blood of any other man, not even the blood of Isaac, and apart from the high priest, God would not have accepted a sacrifice from non other. You might say, well, the Romans crucified Jesus. Remember Pontius Piolet washed his hands and refused the responsibility to kill Jesus. He put it directly in the hands of the High Priest. God accepted the sacrifice, and the veil of the Holy of Holy's in the temple was rent asunder fulfilling the "WHOLE" law that a new covenant was born. Jesus was not an animal sacrifice, that was NEW, and Jesus blood was not of an animal, thus the NEW WINE. When Jesus rose from the dead. He escaped death, and therefore the whole law again was fulfilled, because Jesus was the scape goat.

No longer do we need animals, and there is no longer a requirement from God to put a man on the alter to die for his own sins. Jesus paid the price...THE WHOLE PRICE, by fulfilling the whole law. That is the good news today. The Gospel; God's decree to the entire creation that man has been pardoned and if a man will confess Jesus as Lord before men, Jesus will confess him before His Father. Today we live by the law of faith. Faith on the work Jesus did and not our own works or of works that glorify us. We can't earn our way to heaven, because we can not surpass the work of Jesus and Him crucified. We can only have faith in His work and stand on our relationship with Him. Apart from a personal relationship with Jesus, all the doctrines and dogma's and edicts of religiosity will not be measured as faith.

Our purpose today is to Express God's righteousness to the entire creation because in Romans, it says; the creation will come out of it's futility at the revealing of the Children of God. In the book of Revelation we see that the elect will be the judges, even of angles.

Ultimately it was the centurion. We still have them today, they are called police.

I believe it was God's plan from the beginning that mankind would kill Jesus, and Jesus would come back and save the world.
