Have you ever realized that the ten commandments would have been easier to follow than Christ commands.
Here are a few… From Matthew 5
If someone wants your shirt give them your coat as well
If someone demands you to carry their load 1 mile, carry it 2 miles
Jesus said if you even lust after a woman you have committed adultery.
He says if you are angry at your brother you are guilty of murder.
Matthew 5:48
Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.
William J. Bennett said…
"Give yourself an even greater challenge than the one you are trying to master
and you will develop the powers necessary to overcome the original difficulty.”
I think this is maybe what God is trying to do in a larger supernatural way in us. Look we could keep the 10 commandments… but the mind thing? Lust, Hate, perfection… that is a whole new level. That is beyond the scope of what we can do on our own. I can keep the commands… I can’t be perfect in everything.
You’re heard the saying…
TO BE TESTED IS GOOD. THE CHALLENGED LIFE IS THE BEST THERAPIST.
Well this is the perfect recipe for making Jesus our therapist. We walk in a world where we are tested and challenged in every possible way. If we are to be perfect as Christ is perfect, then by the cause and effect of life we need to rely on Jesus more than ever.
I saw a sign once that read
If you like challenges, working through impossibilities, difficulties, problems, and you don’t like things that come easy, then not only will you love life but you will be incredibly successful in it!
That just about sums up the Christian walk.
The world is filled with impossibilities, it’s filled with difficulties, Its filled with problems, and it is almost never easy… so if we are called to be perfect… WELL THEN WE WILL HAVE TO BE DEPENDENT ON CHRIST.
The word perfect in this verse truly means “be completely dependent on Christ”… lack nothing through your reliance on him.
So my wife is a high maintenance wife… and I am glad. I have seen low maintenance wives and I am not a fan. But she is beautiful, truly. Blonde hair, great figure, and she looks 20 years younger then me. you will almost never catch her not looking great… how does she do it? She is always checking her makeup (not in an arrogant or insecure way) but if we are going to go to the store, she will check her lipstick, make up hair walking out the door in the mirror in the hallway and then we bounce. If we are about to get up from eating out, she will pull out a little mirror and look to see if her lips are filled in? If we come in from outside she will stop right inside the door and take a quick glance in the bathroom mirror and take time to brush her hair. Its wonderful having a wife who is always trying to look her best… for me. Yea thats it… she tries to look her best for me.
Our walk with Christ is actually supposed to look pretty close to this. Every thing I am involved in or doing or about to do I should be checking my reflection in Christ. Im at work, so I stop and ask God am I being completely dependent on you in my job, with my boss, with my co-workers. Am I being completely dependent on God with my family, wife, kids, parents… am I his reflection of perfection.
