Thinking Right: A Study of the Beatitudes: Session 4

There the last verse of Matthew chapter five, when Jesus kind of just lays this one on us, he says, "Therefore you are to be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect." That's kind of a verse that we tend not to want to read because we take our English concepts of perfect, which means sinless perfection...It means to be able to be doing, being, what you were designed to be, what you were designed to do. Jesus would never call us to do something that's impossible to do at the same time.
