To derail this even further.
I don't think your statement is entirely correct.
Jesus also said:
"Do not not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them." Matthew 5:17
And
"If you love me, you will keep my commandments." John 14:15
And since the commandments came from God, and He is God, the commandments are His.
