OT will be fulfilled.

Why would Jesus say, 'Do not think . . . ?' Who might have been thinking He was doing away with the law and the prophets? Why? In his instructions on happiness what did he conspicously leave out? Who's his audience? He gives a comparison that should give a big hint. (Traditions of the elders).

But Jesus did not bid the disciples, "Strive to make your light shine;" He said, "Let it shine." If Christ is dwelling in the heart, it is impossible to conceal the light of His presence. If those who profess to be followers of Christ are not the light of the world, it is because the vital power has left them; if they have no light to give, it is because they have no connection with the Source of light. {MB 41.1}

So Jesus picked out six things on purpose to make His point. Now, going back to the beginning. What is Jesus' topic sentence. Not destroy, fulfill.

What two categories of people are mentioned here? Those who break and teach others to, and those who practice and teach others. Is it possible to break and teach other not to? Or to practice and teach others to break? So they go together.

In which category are you? Anyone who breaks the least of which commandments? Which are mentioned here? Ever hated someone? Looked at a woman wrongly? Ever failed to go become reconciled to a brother who had something against you?

Now, having pointed out that we all belong in the camp of the breakers and teachers of law-
breaking, who is left to practice and teach them? (Don't get stuck here. Jesus says, our righteousness must surpass that of the scribes and pharisees, but let's not pat ourselves on the back yet.) Jesus. Who does he say will fulfill them? Jesus. So

How were the law and the prophets (specifically these six sections) fulfilled in the life of Jesus?
