00:51:52.280 --> 00:51:58.559
It<00:51:52.980><c> means</c><00:51:53.320><c> fully</c><00:51:53.739><c> developed,</c><00:51:56.500><c> like</c><00:51:56.960><c> the</c><00:51:57.260><c> fruit</c><00:51:57.380><c> on</c><00:51:57.579><c> the</c><00:51:57.800><c> tree</c><00:51:57.980><c> perhaps.</c>

00:51:59.039 --> 00:52:02.699
It's<00:51:59.260><c> there</c><00:51:59.659><c> as</c><00:52:00.099><c> a</c><00:52:00.300><c> bud</c><00:52:00.559><c> and</c><00:52:00.960><c> then</c><00:52:01.119><c> it</c><00:52:01.239><c> becomes</c><00:52:01.599><c> fruit.</c>

00:52:02.920 --> 00:52:05.320

00:52:08.940 --> 00:52:13.420
In<00:52:09.139><c> that</c><00:52:09.420><c> sense,</c><00:52:10.719><c> perhaps</c><00:52:11.139><c> we</c><00:52:11.360><c> could</c><00:52:11.579><c> talk</c><00:52:11.860><c> about</c><00:52:12.099><c> being</c><00:52:12.380><c> perfect.</c>

00:52:13.579 --> 00:52:16.199

00:52:16.659 --> 00:52:19.659
It's<00:52:16.980><c> a</c><00:52:17.079><c> lessening</c><00:52:17.539><c> of</c><00:52:18.300><c> the</c><00:52:18.460><c> sort</c><00:52:18.579><c> of</c><00:52:18.760><c> statement</c><00:52:18.980><c> that</c><00:52:19.199><c> Jesus</c><00:52:19.380><c> makes.</c>

00:52:19.659 --> 00:52:23.159
And<00:52:19.840><c> even</c><00:52:20.099><c> then</c><00:52:20.500><c> it</c><00:52:21.099><c> becomes,</c><00:52:21.539><c> I</c><00:52:21.739><c> think,</c><00:52:22.260><c> practically</c><00:52:22.559><c> an</c>

00:52:24.099 --> 00:52:26.960

00:52:27.099 --> 00:52:31.059
God<00:52:27.400><c> said,</c><00:52:27.679><c> be</c><00:52:27.800><c> perfect.</c><00:52:28.099><c> I</c><00:52:28.340><c> can't</c><00:52:28.539><c> be</c><00:52:28.739><c> perfect.</c><00:52:29.480><c> I</c><00:52:29.699><c> can't</c><00:52:29.940><c> be</c><00:52:30.119><c> complete.</c>

00:52:32.139 --> 00:52:33.380
I'm<00:52:32.440><c> a</c><00:52:32.559><c> sinner.</c>

00:52:35.539 --> 00:52:39.719
Nevertheless,<00:52:36.460><c> Jesus</c><00:52:36.900><c> concludes</c><00:52:37.460><c> this</c><00:52:37.840><c> long</c><00:52:38.219><c> discussion</c><00:52:38.800><c> of</c>

00:52:39.719 --> 00:52:40.199
his<00:52:39.920><c> law</c>

00:52:40.199 --> 00:52:43.679
and<00:52:40.360><c> the</c><00:52:40.599><c> contrast</c><00:52:41.019><c> between</c><00:52:41.500><c> his</c><00:52:41.980><c> law</c><00:52:42.219><c> and</c><00:52:42.360><c> that</c><00:52:42.440><c> of</c><00:52:42.599><c> the</c><00:52:42.760><c> Pharisees</c>

00:52:43.679 --> 00:52:46.940
with<00:52:43.840><c> a</c><00:52:43.980><c> very</c><00:52:44.239><c> simple</c><00:52:44.500><c> statement</c><00:52:44.860><c> when</c><00:52:45.000><c> he</c><00:52:45.239><c> says,</c><00:52:46.320><c> be</c><00:52:46.519><c> ye</c>

00:52:46.940 --> 00:52:47.539
therefore<00:52:47.039><c> perfect,</c>

00:52:47.539 --> 00:52:54.260

00:52:54.260 --> 00:52:55.679
perfect<00:52:54.780><c> or</c><00:52:55.179><c> complete.</c>

00:52:55.980 --> 00:52:58.820
And<00:52:56.239><c> when</c><00:52:56.360><c> we</c><00:52:56.420><c> look</c><00:52:56.539><c> at</c><00:52:56.659><c> the</c><00:52:56.780><c> last</c><00:52:56.980><c> part</c><00:52:57.179><c> of</c><00:52:57.300><c> that</c><00:52:57.500><c> verse,</c><00:52:58.639><c> the</c>

00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:03.519
then<00:53:01.320><c> there's</c><00:53:01.500><c> not</c><00:53:01.659><c> much</c><00:53:01.800><c> room</c><00:53:02.099><c> for</c><00:53:02.360><c> evasion.</c>

00:53:04.059 --> 00:53:07.659
The<00:53:04.239><c> same</c><00:53:04.500><c> thing</c><00:53:04.760><c> that</c><00:53:04.960><c> God</c><00:53:05.239><c> is,</c><00:53:05.659><c> that's</c><00:53:05.920><c> what</c><00:53:06.079><c> we're</c><00:53:06.300><c> supposed</c><00:53:06.659><c> to</c><00:53:06.880><c> be.</c>

00:53:08.320 --> 00:53:09.760
It's<00:53:08.639><c> kind</c><00:53:08.780><c> of</c><00:53:08.920><c> frightening.</c>

00:53:11.280 --> 00:53:14.699
The<00:53:11.559><c> worst</c><00:53:11.739><c> thing</c><00:53:11.980><c> that</c><00:53:12.440><c> we</c><00:53:12.579><c> could</c><00:53:12.739><c> do</c><00:53:12.940><c> though</c><00:53:13.239><c> is</c><00:53:13.639><c> to</c><00:53:14.000><c> look</c><00:53:14.239><c> at</c>

opposite<00:53:20.340><c> direction.</c>

00:53:21.460 --> 00:53:24.199
Jesus<00:53:21.780><c> doesn't</c><00:53:22.119><c> want</c><00:53:22.300><c> that.</c><00:53:23.199><c> He</c><00:53:23.320><c> didn't</c><00:53:23.579><c> intend</c><00:53:23.800><c> that</c><00:53:24.019><c> by</c>

00:53:26.840 --> 00:53:30.840
Jesus<00:53:27.519><c> knows</c><00:53:28.199><c> that</c><00:53:28.960><c> because</c><00:53:29.420><c> of</c><00:53:29.619><c> the</c><00:53:29.800><c> limitations</c><00:53:30.400><c> that</c><00:53:30.659><c> all</c>

00:53:39.360 --> 00:53:44.900
But<00:53:39.679><c> Jesus</c><00:53:40.219><c> still</c><00:53:40.739><c> tells</c><00:53:41.139><c> us,</c><00:53:42.099><c> strive</c><00:53:42.679><c> for</c><00:53:43.559><c> that</c><00:53:43.940><c> ideal.</c>

00:53:50.320 --> 00:53:52.679
You<00:53:50.380><c> realize,</c><00:53:50.900><c> of</c><00:53:50.940><c> course,</c><00:53:51.079><c> when</c><00:53:51.199><c> we</c><00:53:51.400><c> say</c><00:53:51.559><c> that,</c><00:53:51.880><c> we're</c><00:53:51.960><c> saying</c><00:53:52.320><c> we'll</c>

00:53:57.420 --> 00:54:00.579

00:54:00.719 --> 00:54:03.659
There<00:54:00.900><c> will</c><00:54:01.019><c> always</c><00:54:01.280><c> be</c><00:54:01.480><c> some</c><00:54:01.880><c> imperfection</c><00:54:03.019><c> that</c><00:54:03.239><c> needs</c><00:54:03.480><c> to</c>

00:54:07.380 --> 00:54:09.920

So<00:54:27.480><c> we</c><00:54:27.900><c> shouldn't</c><00:54:28.079><c> be</c><00:54:28.340><c> embarrassed</c><00:54:28.639><c> about</c><00:54:28.940><c> that.</c>

00:54:29.179 --> 00:54:31.619
We<00:54:29.300><c> shouldn't</c><00:54:29.639><c> feel</c><00:54:30.380><c> frustrated.</c>

00:54:31.679 --> 00:54:34.960
We<00:54:31.780><c> shouldn't</c><00:54:32.039><c> feel</c><00:54:32.260><c> like</c><00:54:32.500><c> we</c><00:54:32.679><c> want</c><00:54:32.820><c> to</c><00:54:33.059><c> forget</c><00:54:33.320><c> about</c><00:54:33.619><c> all</c><00:54:33.840><c> these</c><00:54:34.300><c> things</c><00:54:34.539><c> because</c><00:54:34.780><c> we</c>

00:54:34.960 --> 00:54:36.360
can't<00:54:35.239><c> do</c><00:54:35.400><c> it.</c>

00:54:36.699 --> 00:54:39.000
But<00:54:36.780><c> the</c><00:54:36.980><c> point</c><00:54:37.139><c> is,</c><00:54:37.800><c> keep</c><00:54:38.000><c> trying.</c>

00:54:39.260 --> 00:54:44.639
So<00:54:39.940><c> put</c><00:54:40.159><c> stress</c><00:54:40.599><c> upon</c><00:54:41.239><c> the</c><00:54:41.719><c> be</c><00:54:42.039><c> in</c><00:54:42.480><c> the</c><00:54:42.699><c> sense</c><00:54:42.960><c> of</c><00:54:43.739><c> keep</c><00:54:44.119><c> trying</c>

00:54:44.639 --> 00:54:48.780
to<00:54:44.920><c> be</c><00:54:45.380><c> and</c><00:54:46.619><c> not</c><00:54:46.880><c> so</c><00:54:47.059><c> much</c><00:54:47.239><c> upon</c><00:54:47.460><c> the</c><00:54:47.699><c> perfect.</c>

00:54:48.860 --> 00:54:51.760
See,<00:54:49.039><c> the</c><00:54:49.239><c> perfect</c><00:54:49.440><c> is</c><00:54:49.659><c> perhaps</c><00:54:50.059><c> an</c><00:54:50.280><c> impossible</c><00:54:50.760><c> ideal,</c><00:54:51.519><c> but</c>

00:54:56.239 --> 00:54:58.420
In<00:54:56.340><c> that</c><00:54:56.500><c> regard,</c><00:54:56.880><c> I'm</c><00:54:57.059><c> reminded</c><00:54:57.340><c> of</c><00:54:57.699><c> a</c><00:54:57.760><c> story</c><00:54:58.000><c> that</c><00:54:58.179><c> I</c><00:54:58.300><c> read</c>

00:54:58.420 --> 00:55:04.320

00:55:18.280 --> 00:55:20.719
And<00:55:18.619><c> a</c><00:55:18.780><c> visitor</c><00:55:19.039><c> came</c><00:55:19.360><c> into</c><00:55:19.559><c> the</c><00:55:19.760><c> workshop</c>
