What does it mean Jesus fulfilled the law? Multiple answers allowed.
It means he perfectly obeyed the Law, living a sinless life and died on the cross, giving us his righteousness. We are unable to fulfill the Law--so he did on our behalf.
I think it is pointing to the fact that he understood the spirit of the law (love), and did not concern himself with the letter of the law. He broke the law of the Sabbath because he knew there was a higher law.

The 'law' before Jesus required a perfect blood sacrifice to atone for sins. Jesus came, not to remove that requirement, but to fulfill it once and for all for those who would believe. This subject requires a good understanding of OT law.

This is incorrect, Jesus didn't break the law of the sabbath as given by God to Moses. The Pharisses had added to the law and Jesus was only guilty before men, not God. Jesus remained perfect in the eyes of God's Law His entire time on Earth.

He had respect for the law.
For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished.

Dear Finn,
You are misquoting Mt 5:17-18," Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish, but to fulfill. For truly I say to you, untl heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass away from the Law, until all is accomplished".
The Law and the Prophets have not been fulfilled at this time. Yeshua has yet to rule from Jerualem (Ze 14), there has been no first resurrection, the nations have not been judged, nor has there been a second resurrection with respect to judgment day. To top that, the earth has not passed away.

Option # 6 = The law has not been completely fulfilled.
I listed six explanations, and probably missed a few.
Vizio,
He did not break the Law of the Sabbath (Mt 12:8), "for the son of man was Lord of the Sabbath", and the Sabbath was made for man. Mt 12:11, And He said to them, "What man is there among you who has a sheep, and if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will he not take hold of it and lift it out?"
The only one who changed the laws and the times was the beast of Daniel 7:24-25, and Rev 13, and that was Constantine, whose god, Sol Invictus, is worshipped per his decree of 321 AD whereas the day of the sun, the day of Sol Invictus, was to be a day of rest, and no one could buy or sell on that day. Constantine established the Roman Church, which is known today as the "Christian" church who honors Sol Invictus and the cross he told Constantine to conquer under.
