Today’s Thought “Highway to Heaven” G. Ward

“Therefore you are to be perfect, as your heavenly Father is perfect.” Matthew 5:48

The discourse our Savior rendered unto His disciples (Mt.5-7) was/is very opposite of any perspective from mankind. There continues to be frowning regarding the definition of what it means to be perfect; it’s utilized more in an ugly attempt in criticism towards one whose aim is to establish task or character without error. The bible definition, although similar, is relative to its contextual review. The prior demand has every believer with an earnest pursuit in loving every enemy (cf. Jn.3:16). This speaks more to exemplary living that imitates his Maker.

How difficult can/could it be seeking to love (particularly in view of the sacrifice by Christ – who died for those believing to have killed Him) the worst oppressor found in society unilateral of Holy God rest? Moreover, who are we really, when in the very presence of God, we continue in the perpetuation of our way over His excellence?

Happy Wednesday!
