- Leviticus 11:2 At first thought the laws given here seem only to have been made obsolete by Jesus. He taught that it is not what goes into the mouth but what comes out of it that defiles a man (Matt. 15:17-20), and Paul said that when the complete and perfect came, the incomplete and imperfect would become void and superseded (I Cor. 13:9, 10), for “there is nothing unclean of itself” (Rom. 14:14 kjv). But while all these specific laws have become void, we must not lose sight of the fact that they are “superseded” by the underlying spiritual principle, which is just as binding. Christ’s teaching relates to the whole area of our living, including our eating and drinking, and is dominated by the principle, “Whatever you may do, do all for the honor and glory of God” (I Cor. 10:31). We do well to remember that it was Jesus Christ Himself who said, “Do not think that I have come to do away with or undo the Law...; I have come not to do away with or undo but to complete and fulfill” it (Matt. 5:17).
