Matthew 5:18 - Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary

Bible Comments

For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled.

In this passage, we meet with the word Amen, or Verily, for the first time, and therefore, once for all, I beg to observe upon it, that it is of the highest import when used by CHRIST. It is indeed one of his precious names. JESUS therefore, in the use of it, puts his name to what he delivers. See Isaiah 65:16; Revelation 3:14. I must refer the Reader, for the sake of shortness, to my Poor Man's Concordance for the full explanation of it; he will find it under the article Amen in that little work.

Reader! do not fail to remark what the Lord Jesus here saith of the law, for most blessed it is to behold him as our law-surety, and our law-fulfiller. For as such he becomes the Lord our Righteousness, and is the end, of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth. Romans 10:4.
