Jesus was seen as a radical teacher compared to the scribes and Pharisees of His day. The Sermon on the Mount stands as an explanation of His teaching that addressed the distortions of the Law that were present within the views of these religious leaders. Jesus explains that He has not come to abolish the Law. Instead, Jesus has come to fulfill the Law and the Prophets. That is the very thing you and I will never be able to accomplish. Praise God for sending Jesus to be the author and the fulfiller of the Law that brings forth salvation and sanctification for us by the Spirit.
