Matthew 5-7
Perhaps the most famous sermon of all time, the Sermon on the Mount, has been a guiding force for people throughout the ages because of its common sense approach to righteousness. As I go through each section I am convicted, because I am found wanting. However, there is one verse that troubles me more than any other. It comes at the end of chapter five, where Jesus encourages us to be perfect as God is. I don't know about anyone else, but all I can do with this injunction is to fall to my knees, proclaiming, "Lord, have mercy on me, a sinner."
