In today's Gospel passage, Jesus demonstrated His respect for Jewish tradition. However, He also emphasized that He came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets, meaning to bring their true purpose to completion. While Jesus appreciated the positive aspects of His religious tradition, He also remained open to how God intended for that tradition to evolve.
Likewise, we are called to appreciate the positive aspects of our religious tradition and remain open to the ways in which the Lord continually renews and inspires it.
