Today at Church the Pastor went to very sticky subjetcs, "The hard sayings of Jesus". Those are referred to those passages where Jesus simply says "yes" and "no". To make it clear, it's when Jesus gives clear notice of His opinion about things and what's His law, for example about divorce, marriage, sexual life, etc.
Those subjects are very straight to the point and either you are in the law, or you aren't, there is no in between, there are no excuses and there isn't a "but...".
It is very hard because we are all humans and we are all in the same club, "The sinners". It doesn't matter what our weakness is, food, drink, lust, money, envy, lies. Whatever it is, all of us have one.
It's just so hard to not listen to our flesh, and in those moments all we can do is hold on tight on Jesus hands and ask Him to not let us fall.
There has to be a way out, that's what He says, you won't be tempted more than you can handle, your Father will provide an escape for you. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
In the meantime, while the moment of breakthrough doesn't happen, all we can do is wait, and keep seeking, and if we fall, get back up and start the walk again, and He doesn't care about yesterday, as long as we don't live our lives the same way as the day before.
