Jesus taught his disciples, opening his mouth to teach them many things that brought change. He taught a change of priorities, thoughts, and hopes. Specifically, he taught that the kingdom of heaven should be a top priority, our example is important, and true treasure is deeper than what we think. He brought a fresh, new meaning to the eternal word unlike the scribes, astonishing crowds with his authority and teaching of changed life.

(Matthew 6.19-33) Thinking you might get to heaven is not enough. (Matthew 7.21-23) (Take Note of 1 John 5.13)
What was Taught A change of hope: The law would not be destroyed but fulfilled. (Matthew 5.17-20) The law could not pass without fulfillment. Galatians 3.21-29
