In the Bible study my small group covered on Friday I posed the question, "why do we even try to accomplish the goals given in these [beatitudes] if we are not able to be 100% successful?" And that was a response to the first 12 verses. If you read on it gets harder and harder. To love your neighbor enough that when he strikes you don't get mad and you let him do it again. To not look at a woman lustfully ever! To only divorce when she/he is unfaithful to you - and only that. Make sure your yes's are yes's and your no's no's. And then we get the commission of being the agent responsible to keep the world pure. This is such a hard topic to go over in Bible study. I need to have the faith to be able to lead this topic. I need prayer. I love the beatitudes because of how straight forward it is you know? It's simple, yet profound. I just really hope that I can follow the rules given by Jesus to the best of my abilities...
