Jesus witnessed the inadequacies of the law of Moses in Matthew 5. You now... the Sermon on the Mount that "supposedly" gives "life" to the doer....
Notice how Jesus addresses "the law of Moses'.....
Mat 5:27 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery:
Notice how Jesus describes the inadequacy of such a law.
Mat 5:28 But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
Those Pharisees that ruled Israel would never dare literally commit adultery with another women. It was "against the law". However, they sure did WANT TO.... They dreamed about it. They desired to do it. They WOULD do it if they thought they could get away with it....
That is the way of men and the inadequacy of the law of Moses. They appeared outward as righteous keepers of the law.... Yet inward they were....
Mat 23:27 Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
Mat 23:28 Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
