If you have ever told a child to do something just to show them that they cannot do it without help, then you begin to understand some of why Jesus is telling us to be perfect. By telling us to be perfect He is at once showing us our imperfections, and likewise helping us to understand our need to approach God under a different set of rules. Instead of trying to earn God's favor,we accept the favor He freely offers us in forgiveness and grace.
“Be perfect as your Father in Heaven is perfect.” Jesus Conversations Within” ts 1/6/2025
