How does Christ fulfill the law regarding blasphemy?

Answered in 1 source

Christ fulfills the law regarding blasphemy by taking upon Himself the punishment for sin on behalf of blasphemers.

The law demands justice for blasphemy, as illustrated in Leviticus 24, where a blasphemer is stoned for his sins. However, Christ came to fulfill the law and the prophets (Matthew 5:17). In His life, He perfectly obeyed God's law and, through His death, took on the punishment reserved for sinners. This act of atonement is a manifestation of His grace, providing a means of redemption for those who rightly deserve condemnation. As blasphemers ourselves, we find solace in the fact that Christ's sacrifice allows sinners to receive mercy instead of justice. This is the core of sovereign grace — that while we are deserving of death, Christ willingly took the punishment on our behalf, exemplifying God's love and justice.
