The Fulfillment of the Law
17“Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them.
18I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.19Anyone who breaks one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.20For I tell you that unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and the teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven.

This verse seems to make an excellent case for those followers of Christ who also keep the Jewish law.

Jesus saying that He has come to augment the Law; especially by giving it's meanings/requirements are more applicable light that's sound and enforceable by the Spirit of God.

Jesus didn't come down to Earth to make the Bible look contradictory at all. On the contrary, He came to fulfillment the multitude of prophecy made about His birth, life, death, and resurrection.
