Be Perfect as Your Heavenly Father is Perfect

Making Friends With The Lord Jesus · Mar 14, 2025 · 13m

This is the ultimate challenge of Jesus to. How could we possible top God Himself? Jesus assured Peter in a previous gospel found in Matthew, that with God everything is possible. Jesus speaks to us about charity and love of neighbor in today's gospel. As we did in previous gospels, He elevates the demands of God's Law. Not only do actions against a commandment make us liable, we also need to include our thoughts, desires and as always, our actions and omissions. What He asks today is that we imitate God in His love for those who are difficult to love.
