RE: A Difficult Saying of Jesus: Matthew 5:48. Why Did Jesus Tell His Followers to be Perfect?

Good teaching! I've heard the warning, "don't strive for perfection, you'll fall short". Of course we will fall short in the flesh! The most difficult thing to accept is the believe that perfection is possible in the flesh (but not according to the flesh). This is evidenced by Jesus, who in the flesh was able to achieve perfection by the Spirit. If we are imitators of HIM, then that same perfection is possible for us (by the Spirit). @ironshield
