Descripción

The Lord posed what is sometimes viewed as a troubling question. He said, “What manner of men ought ye to be?” Then answering His own question, he said, “Even as I am.” Equally troubling, Christ also said, “Therefore I would that ye should be perfect even as I, or your Father who is in heaven is perfect.” Popular advice today is “compare yourself with yourself and not with others, each day trying to do and be a little better.” That is pretty good advice, but it doesn’t quite go far enough. You can’t really improve without a standard. You may putter around comparing yourself today with yesterday, but ultimately you must look up and ahead to where you are going and deliberately steer in that direction. Then and only then can you measure your progress We do not surpass whatever our measure is. “We stretch not ourselves beyond our measure”, as Paul said, and the measure which God has given us is His Son. The best course is the highest of all human endeavors, meaning, look to Christ and compare yourself with Him. If the standard be not Christ, then who in the world, who? If the standard be not perfection, then what in the world what? Christ is the standard against which we should measure ourselves but not break ourselves. And He is perfection. The fact that we do and will fall short does not mean the bar should be lowered to close the gap. There is a different plan for closing the gap.
