Jesus uses shocking hyperbole to emphasize the importance of evaluating sexual desires in his disciples. Contrary to the belief of a low view on sexuality, Jesus may have actually viewed it as sacred and transcendent, leading to his extreme teachings. The distinction is not between good and bad sexual desires, but between pure sexual desire and distorted lust, which is the antithesis of love. Jesus' emphasis is not on a passing glance but on a sustained, intense gaze, indicating the need for introspection. By delving deeper into the true meaning of lust, beyond the common translation, Jesus' teachings on sexuality and lust can be better understood and applied in contemporary contexts.
