Sermon on the Mount Part 4: That Bar Is Too High

Matthew 5:21-48

HOW TO RAISE THE BAR ON MOTIVES, DESIRES, AND HEART POSTURES WE MUST CONFRONT ON THE JOURNEY TO KNOWING JESUS.

1- The bar is not too high, your view of yourself is too small. We drop the standards when we view them as unrealistic, not realizing we filter our reasoning through our own lens of what's possible or not, not God’s. The spirit has given you a new ability to become a new creation, it's your choice if you believe the lie of the flesh that says you can't change, this is just who you are.

2- You can fake words and actions; you can't fake motives, desires, and heart postures, this is why Jesus is this direct in this passage. Going through the motions and knowing the words to say doesn't show a changed life... it’s the little things we won't let slide anymore, the development of our desires to match his, developing our motives to not be purely selfish over time… It feels like perfectionism because it's so countercultural; this is the way of Jesus Christ.

3- Perfect is attainable; God wouldn’t set a target if he believed you couldn’t hit it. What we have to realize is the sight we aim through towards the target of perfected living is Jesus. The spirit that leads us in righteous/perfected living, the word that reveals the perfect law of God, and then following Jesus' model as a perfect person… Jesus didn't pay a high price for a low bar.
