A. Absolutely true
B. True, except for the ceremonial lawsand the Ten Commandments
C. Something important is missing from the citation of the verse
C is the correct answer.
The passage from Matthew 5:18 is often quoted only in part. When the rest of the verse is included, the meaning becomes clearer and more complete.
The full verse reads, “Not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.” This final segment is crucial. It indicates that the Law remained in force until its purpose was fulfilled. This idea is further explained in Galatians 3:19, “Why then the Law? It was added because of transgressions… until the Seed should come to whom the promise had been made.”
The Mosaic Law contains profound and enduring teaching, but one of its central purposes was to reveal humanity’s need for the Messiah because no one could fully keep the Law.
