Hebrews: Jesus IS the Fulfilment of the Law and Prophets!

Hebrews 1:1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

Jesus of Nazareth was the ultimate expression of God's character and will. His revelation both fulfilled and surpassed what had been revealed through the Hebrew prophets.

Hebrews 3:1 Therefore, holy brothers, you who share in a heavenly calling, consider Jesus, the apostle and high priest of our confession, 2 who was faithful to him who appointed him, just as Moses also was faithful in all God's house. 3 For Jesus has been counted worthy of more glory than Moses—as much more glory as the builder of a house has more honor than the house itself. 4 (For every house is built by someone, but the builder of all things is God.) 5 Now Moses was faithful in all God's house as a servant, to testify to the things that were to be spoken later, 6 but Christ is faithful over God's house as a son. And we are his house, if indeed we hold fast our confidence and our boasting in our hope.

Jesus of Nazareth fulfilled the Law given through Moses and surpassed him in importance. They were both faithful to the commission which God gave each one of them to perform, but Christ's mission was superior in every way to the one given to Moses to perform. Whereas Moses had acted in the capacity of a servant who represented God's will to Israel, Jesus acted in the capacity of God's own son and has represented God to the whole world - to all of humanity!
