Jesus tells us that we are to be perfect as He is perfect (Matt 5:48). However, being human, it is impossible to be perfect. What do you think Jesus meant by this statement?

His piano teacher would say that he plays “perfectly.” However, if he hasn’t moved on and is still playing the same piece a year later, he is no longer perfect.
