Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. Mat 5:48
Alma made the comment, “Time only is measured unto men.” For thousands of years man has devised methods of keeping time, from observing sunrise and sunset, to sundials, water clocks, escapement clocks and quartz clocks. The current method used by the National Institute of Standards and Technology is a cesium fountain atomic clock which neither gains nor loses a second in more than 60 million years. This is the standard for all timepieces around the world.
Jesus sets a perfect standard that is even more precise than the NIST atomic clock. Just as all clocks are compared to the standard, we must compare our thoughts, words and deeds to His divine standard if we are to achieve the goal of eternal life.
