“Issues of Life: Lust” (Matthew 5:27-30)

As Jesus continues through His sermon, He covers "issues of life" that everyone will wrestle with. In this portion, He addresses the heart issue of lust. True, not everyone will commit an act of adultery, but everyone will struggle with the sin of lust. What matters to God is the condition of your heart. The more we gaze at others to satisfy our own desires, the less we fix our eyes on Jesus. Jesus then offers us an immediate and extreme resolve to this issue. Are you willing to gouge and cut to remain pure before the Lord?
