Remember the Cash for Clunkers program that was set in motion by the Obama administration? If you participated in that program, you were getting rid of an older vehicle to make way for a new one. In fact, when you turned that old vehicle in, you knew what was going to happen to it. They would pour a mixture in the engine to make sure it would never run again. After the motor was destroyed, the vehicle was put through the compactor, destroying any resemblance to a motor vehicle. What was old in this program was destroyed.
When Jesus was giving His famous sermon on the mount, it seems as if the Jews listening to Him were thinking that Jesus was going to destroy the Law of Moses. Jesus plainly tells them that He did not come to abolish the Old Law, but to fulfill it. He would shortly thereafter make statements contrasting the commandments with the expectations under the new covenant which would take effect with the death of Christ on the cross. Jesus knew unless he prefaced this discussion with an explanation of His purpose that the Jews would be in a tizzy.
I've posted the latest sermon audio from Sunday night. I hope it is beneficial to you.
