Be Perfect: LOVE

Matthew 5:48 records Jesus' words: "Therefore you shall be perfect, just as your Father in heaven is perfect."

Pretty tall order, isn't it?

I won't make it.

But my Bible's footnote gives this: "The emphasis in the command to be perfect is not on a flawless moral nature but on an all-inclusive love that seeks the good of all. Instead of following the example of sinners who love only those who love them, we are to be like the Father in also loving those who do not love us."

Still a tall order, but one I should be striving to fill. Perfection = Loving.
