“Jesus fully satisfied the righteousness that the law, which could never pass away until all had been fulfilled, demanded (Matt. 5:18). Since the garden of Eden, the law had demanded obedience and punished disobedience through the shedding of blood and death. But Jesus’s life of ordinary (yet spectacular) obedience changed everything. Through his obedience he silenced the law’s demands forever. And his shed blood and death, which would be unnecessary in his own case, would be offered later, not for his sins but for ours. His daily obedience was sufficient to completely satiate this terrifying mandate: You “must be perfect, as your
heavenly Father is perfect” (Matt. 5:48).”

“Christ our Lord, to whom we must flee and of whom we must ask all, is an infinite well, the chief source of all grace…Even if the whole world were to draw from this Fountain enough grace and truth to transform all people into angels, still it would not lose as much as one drop. This Fountain constantly overflows with sheer grace.”
-Martin Luther
