And this is the same Christ that had no problem overturning money-changers' tables and didn't care one lick about the laws of not working on the sabbath or marriage laws about what a women should do should she become a widow before having children. It's very clear from Christ's actions in the New Testament that 'fulfill the law' does not mean 'uphold the law' in the strict sense that you're reading this particular passage. The word fulfill doesnt just mean 'to make so;' it also means 'to make something more than it has been' or 'bring to fruition.' Christ is actually pretty clear about the fact that he considers some 'law' to be simply the vanity and avarice of men for which he has no regard.

Of course you also have to acknowledge that a lot of the laws of Moses had, by Jesus' time, been so nickpicked over and people had got so strict about them that stripping a handful of grain from a few plants just because you're hungry and forgot to bring a packed lunch was considered "work".

Jesus pointed out how stupid all that nitpickery was, and pared the law down to the true spirit.

He did believe in upholding the Ten Commandments, even with the "Love the Lord your God with all your heart" and "Love your neighbour as yourself" pair of laws (which I have always understood as being the core truth of the Ten Commandments, pared down).
