Which of the commandments of Christ do you find the most difficult to perform or obey?
It was pointed out to me that the sermon on the mount was similar to the sermon on the plain. The first begins in Matthew 5 and the second begins in Luke 6 from verse 17. Both talks end with the man who builds his house on the rock while the other builds on sand.
Do you find it easy to turn the other cheek? Do you bless those who curse you?
Without the foundation of obedience to commands like this, our whole Christian edifice will fall. If our heart is not right our behaviour will be unlike Christ's.
Maybe there are other thoughts from those chapter that challenge you more.
Your thoughts please would be very welcome.
loosecan- We need to love ourselves a bit to be able to love our neighbour
Chris- I too stumble on that one. Blessings for cursings does not come easy.
sexual energy can be converted into creative energy. Suppressing it does not work

The reason so many have a hard time following Jesus is they carry Pride around with them and try to make it a good thing. Not letting go of it because it makes them feel good inside(self pride). Pride prevents forgivness, compassion, turning the other cheek without retaliating, arguing your right, the need to be right, humbleness, mercy on others, and every other commandment Jesus gave us, is prevented by pride. To follow Jesus One must first admit that their pride is sin, which they refuse to repent for, because Pride also makes one feel sometimes they don't need to be sorry. I hear some people say they are Proud to have pride, that in it's self is a scary combination. Pride that feeds it's self, Is self sustaining and therefore, cause one to rely on self, and feel they need no one, including Jesus. Peace to all.

I understand forgiveness and blessing those whose curse me...I guess one of the hardest to obey is sexxual controll. It has biological characteristics that make it a tough demon to keep under wraps

Sabbath seems to be a problem for me......it's a joy but it's sometimes hard to keep my mind on GOD the whole day and not look at the clock....
Also my mind occasionally wanders into sexual things.....

everything - that's why I feel like a dirty, rotten atheist. only the morally strong people are genuine Christians, real talk.
