  1. Lesson 16A – Matthew 5–7 (cont.) Even as your Father

  2. Commandments • Which commandment do you think is the hardest to keep? • Matthew 5:48 • Is being perfect even possible? (1 Ne 3:7) • Why was the commandment not “… even as I am perfect”? • 2 meanings of the word • Perfect = without sin • Perfect = complete, whole

  3. How do we become perfect? Matthew 5:48

  4. Pieces of a puzzle • Each of you has a verse from the sermon on the mount (most from Matthew 5) • Find the verse, describe the step to perfection and write on front of the piece (verse is on the back) • Arrange the pieces together on the back wall • Hint: the verses are written in the correct orientation • Hint: the verses are roughly in order from top to bottom

  5. τέλειος • The Greek word “Teleios” • whole, complete, finished • If the puzzle where missing a piece, would it be “Teleios”? • If the puzzle wasn’t quite lined up exactly right, would it still be “Teleios”? • If you did the puzzle wrong at first, but then I showed you the answer and you fixed it, would it be “Teleios”?

  6. This is not the hardest commandment • This is the end result • Moroni 10:32-33 • “come unto Christ, and be perfected in him” • “through the shedding of the blood of Christ” • Christ allows us to become perfect. Without Him we will never finish.

  7. Notebook Ideas • How does knowing that perfection is a process affect the way you live and make choices day by day? • What “pieces” of perfection don’t seem to fit in your life right now? What could you do to fix them? • What is Christ’s role in your path to perfection?
