How Jesus keeps the Law for us

 (Jesus) perfect keeping of the Law for us is starkly demonstrated in Gethsemane: "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me.  Nevertheless, not my will, but Your will be done."  (Jesus) both kept the First Commandment and suffered the punishment we deserve for our not keeping it.
