Perfect Imperfection Matthew 5:48 Grace Community Church 6/5/2005

Be Perfect – Matthew 5:46-47 Matthew 5:47-48 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect.

Far from perfect… We are angry… vs. 21-26 We lust… vs. 27-30 We walk out on each other… vs. 31-32 We are untruthful… vs. 33-37 We desire vengeance… vs. 38-42 We don’t love our enemies… vs. 43-47 We are NOT perfect… vs. 48

The Law prepares us for the gospel… The Law and the Gospel The gospel never makes us feel good about who we are while we are in our sin… The gospel makes those who feel bad in their sin good through Christ’s finished work on the cross… The Law prepares us for the gospel…

Paul: Pharisee made Poor in Spirit Romans 7:21-24 21So I find this law at work: When I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within my members. 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death?

Rescued from His Sin Romans 7:24-25 24What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? 25Thanks be to God—through Jesus Christ our Lord! Romans 8:1-2 1Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus, 2because through Christ Jesus the law of the Spirit of life set me free from the law of sin and death.

Communion – What’s it mean? Luke 22:19 19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” The bread - Jesus life fulfilled the righteous requirements of the law…

Communion – What’s it mean? Luke 22:20 20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you. The blood - Jesus death fulfilled the laws demand for justice…

The Bread and Cup… Luke 22:19-20 19And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, “This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.” 20In the same way, after the supper he took the cup, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you.
