Did Jesus keep all of the Old Testament laws perfectly?

Did Jesus keep all of the Old Testament laws perfectly?

For example, He is accused in the NT by the Pharisees for not washing his hands before eating. Was this requirement an OT law or a Pharisaic tradition?

Similarly, he is accused in the NT by the Pharisees for healing on the Sabbath and thereby violating the Fourth Commandment. Would healing be deemed to be "work" under the Mosaic law such that healing on the Sabbath would violate the Fourth Commandment?

Okay, I hope I'm gonna make sense here. I'm only gonna post one part of scripture, but the rest is in there. (just trust me)

The law was required until the "Seed" of promise showed up (Jesus himself).

Galatians 3:19-25 What, then, was the purpose of the Law? It was added because the transgressions until the Seed to whom the promise referred had come. The law was put into effect through the angels by a mediator. A mediator, however, does not represent just one part, but God is one.
Is the law, therefore opposed to the promises of God? Absolutely not! For if a law had been given that could impart life, then righteousness would certainly have come by the law. But the Scripture declares that the whole world is a prisoner of sin, so that what was promised, being given through faith in Jesus Christ, might be given to those who believe.
Before this faith came, we were held prisoners by the law, locked up until faith should be revealed. So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith. Now that faith has come, we are no longer under the supervision of the law.

Jesus is the mediator between us and the law. The mediator knows both sides. He is mediating between faith and the law. It is a legal thing he is doing. The legal thing he is doing........is called God's will. Jesus is true righteousness! the Law was put in place to actually show that we fall short of true righteousness. Born again, Holy Spirit filled life will go above and beyond anything the law could've accomplished.

God allows people to feed and water their animals on the Sabbath - or save life on the sabbath

 

[WalterandDebbie]

the pharisees were claiming Jesus was working on the sabbath when He healed people

Jesus sorted out their wrong theology by saying that God allowed people to feed and water their animals on the Sabbath - or save the life of an animal on the sabbath - and therefore healing sick people on the sabbath was "lawful" - not "lawbreaking" as per Luke 13:15-16 - Luke 6:9 - Mark 3:4-5

Amen!

Not only did He keep it perfectly, He magnified it (Isaiah 42:21):

The law says not to commit adultery, but the Lord says, that to look with lust is the same as committing adultery.

The law says not to commit murder, but the Lord says, that to hate your brother is the same as committing murder.

The Lord says that our righteousness must exceed that of the religious leaders (Matthew 5:20), otherwise, we will not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.

The work of Christ now empowers us to follow Him under the grace of God; when once our sins would've prevented our lives, we are now under grace, and remain to strive, yet imperfect, but empowered, to keep His law, which is the truth, which is His word (Psalm 119:142; 151; 160; John 17:17).

By His love for us, do we love Him, and it is no longer the fear of stoning that motivates us to keep His law, but our love for Him that causes us to go above and beyond.

For the law is not made void by our faith--NOT AT ALL--the law is in fact established by our faith (Romans 3:31).

Christ kept it, and magnified it, and exposed the religious leaders as liars who did not keep the law (John 7:19).

Did Jesus keep all of the Old Testament laws perfectly?

Did Jesus atone for our sins?
If he did then he was sinless ands means he had obeyed all of God's laws.

But we know that the law is good if one uses it lawfully, knowing this:

that the law is not made for a righteous person, but for the lawless and insubordinate, for the ungodly and for sinners, for the unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of mothers, for manslayers, for fornicators, for sodomites, for kidnappers, for liars, for perjurers, and if there is any other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine, according to the glorious gospel of the blessed God which was committed to my trust. 1 Timothy 1:8-11


Jesus is a Priest forever, after the order of Melchizedek, not being subject to the Levitical priesthood or the law of Moses that they officiated.


For the priesthood being changed, of necessity there is also a change of the law. Hebrews 7:12



“The law and the prophets were until John. Since that time the kingdom of God has been preached, and everyone is pressing into it. Luke 16:16


Why would Jesus need to sacrifice an animal?

Thank you. Both your responses are helpful.

When you say "God allowed" it, is there a specific verse that shows that it was lawful? Jesus said in Luke 13:15 that the religious leaders loose their oxen or donkeys from the stall, and lead them away to water them on the Sabbath, but just because they did this does not mean it was actually allowed by God on the Sabbath.

actually the only thing God said was DON'T work on the sabbath - Exodus 20:10 - Deuteronomy 5:14

eating, feeding your animals, saving a life are not considered work -
