    Matt.5:29 Hard Sayings of Jesus

    "Right eye"

    "Blessedness of man is established by the divine Will and it freely given in his Son to the saints chosen before the foundation of the world. It is open for those who have no confidence in their flesh but nevertheless would learn of the Son who was also in human likeness." (Select)

    Blessedness which Jesus spoke to the multitudes was in the will of the(Is.63 Father. Jesus in his human likeness addressed it in terms of the body God has prepared for him.(Ps.40:8). This being the case the hard sayings which he spoke cannot be understood without the two qualities of holiness he presented to the world. He was the word become flesh. So it is impossible to interpret it in any other manner than grace and truth that came by Jesus. Does anyone think being blind prevents one from imagining evil or lust for another. Force of nature inflame the body entire and only grace and truth in heart of man can help his case.

    "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell." (v.29)

    Isaiah speaks of salvation in terms of "And he saw that there was no man, and wondered that there was no intercessor: therefore his arm brought salvation unto him; and his righteousness, it sustained him."(Is.59:16;63:5) His right hand denotes his Son. It is thus this Psalm refers to it."His right hand and holy arm have gained Him the victory."(Ps.98:1)

    Lust of the eye or flesh can only be handled by grace. St Paul's own case can help us understand it. "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me./Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, .... for when I am weak, then am I strong."(2 Co.12:7-10)
