Things Jesus Said #11 - Whoever looks at a woman to lust for her

Matthew 5:27-28 " You have heard that it was said to those of old, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart."

Commentary: "Perhaps there are some here who will say, “I know I have been very chaste all my life, for the command saith, ‘Thou shalt not commit adultery,’ and I have never broken it; I am clean there.” Ay, but now hear Christ explain the command, “He that looketh upon a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.” Now, then, who among us can say that we have not done that? Who is there upon earth, if that be the meaning of the command, who can say, “I am innocent?” If the law of God, as we are told by Scripture, has to deal, not with our outward actions alone, but with our words and with our thoughts and with our imaginations—if it is so exceeding broad that it applies to the most secret part of a man, then who of us can plead guiltless before the throne? No, dear brethren, this must be understood by you, and by me, before we can be justified, that we are full of sin. What if I say that we are as full of sin as an egg is full of meat? We are all sin. The imagination and the thought of our heart is evil, and only evil, and that continually. If some of you plume yourselves with the notion that you are righteous, I pray God to pluck those fine feathers off you and make you see yourselves; for if you never see your own nothingness, you will never understand Christ’s all–sufficiency. Unless you are pulled down, Christ will never lift you up. Unless you know yourselves to be lost, you will never care for that Savior who came “to seek and to save the lost.” That is a second discovery then—that it is important to be just before God, but that on account of the spirituality of God’s moral law and our consequent inability to keep it perfectly, we are very far from standing in that position." - Charles Haddon Spurgeon
