the way you're interpreting it to mean...it means 'make whole', or 'now we can see the whole picture'. Jesus' crucifixion was the fulfillment of many things, but it did not abolish the law. I don't know how 'not having to follow it' would be considered completion instead of abolition, which Jesus clearly indicated he was not doing.
And a reading that the law went away would conflict with every other word in that statement...how is it complete if heaven and earth haven't passed away?
Keep in mind a LOT of the theology taught and prevalent in western Christianity is based in ideas hatched to 'de-Jew' Christianity.
