Paragraph 1. JESUS AND ISRAEL
580
The perfect fulfilment of the Law could be the work of none but the divine
legislator, born subject to the Law in the person of the Son.337 In
Jesus, the Law no longer appears engraved on tables of stone but “upon the
heart” of the Servant who becomes “a covenant to the people”,
because he will “faithfully bring forth justice”.338 Jesus
fulfils the Law to the point of taking upon himself “the curse of the
Law” incurred by those who do not “abide by the things written in the
book of the Law, and do them”, for his death took place to redeem them
“from the transgressions under the first covenant”.339
