Our Lord's Expectation: To Be Perfect

This may at first glance seem unreasonable. The expectation is not to be perfect in deed, but to identify with Christ, the Son of God, so that we view the world from His vantage point which is a Kingdom vantage point. "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness..." Jesus teaches. This is not an act that can be accomplished in the flesh, but one in which by God's grace we can accomplish.
