Does Jesus set the bar too high?

You’re gonna be waiting a longtime for an answer

That’s the whole purpose of the query.

We can look for ways to “excuse” our behavior or we can go to Jesus, empty ourselves to Him, plea for Mercy, and atone for our errors by both restitution (when and if possible) and by making full hearted effort to avoid temptation and sin; we must accept that the Call is not to claim ‘the flesh is weak’ but to ascertain, as St. Paul, that when I am weak, Jesus is Strong (St. John 15:1-10)–yet, He can only be Strong if we yield our will to His Will!

But I still TRY because it’s also not good to just give up and be the worst possible because you can’t be the best.

St. Paul put’s it this way:

1 What shall we say, then? shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? 2 God forbid. For we that are dead to sin, how shall we live any longer therein? 3 Know you not that all we, who are baptized in Christ Jesus, are baptized in his death? 4 For we are buried together with him by baptism into death; that as Christ is risen from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we also may walk in newness of life. 5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also in the likeness of his resurrection. 6 Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin may be destroyed, to the end that we may serve sin no longer. (Romans 6)

Jesus did not Come to expose our frailty, He Came so that, in Him, we may be Freed!

Maran atha!

Does Jesus set the bar too high?

Nope.

Humanity sets the bar too low
