This thing wey Jesus talk really dey make person think. Plenty things dey wey person fit talk about am concerning the law and how Jesus fulfill the law. But one thing wey good make we reflect on na how Jesus take go far to show say, no be only one letter for the law dey important, but even the smallest part of one letter.
The highest law of God, wey Christ Jesus bring to fulfillment, na love. “Make you love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your mind, with all your soul and with all your strength.” And, “Make you love your neighbour as you love yourself.” Na this be the full fulfillment of the law of God.
