Matthew 7.12.niv So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. If only the world ran on this principle. If only everyone lived this way... But we can. You & I We can live out Jesus call on our lives if we choose to...in whatever big or small part of the world that we live...whether we impact 1, 10, 100...who knows the influence you might have in the future...but right now where I live, work, play, worship I can choose to live the "golden rule" and make a difference #choose #otherness #lovepeople #dotoothers #goldenrule #beattitudes #wordsofJesus
Matthew 7.12.niv So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. This sums up the Law & the Prophets. This is the whole of God's story to this point...creation...the fall...God making a way...rebellion...God pursuing his people...and the prophets pointing to the coming Messiah...and summed up here? Because all of that is about love...love for others...love for us God's otherness orientation is directed at us! And that's how God calls us to be...other oriented... #otherness #lovepeople #dotoothers #goldenrule #beattitudes #wordsofJesus
Matthew 7.12.niv So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Ah the "golden rule"... Treat others how you'd like to be treated... If you're doing a deal, be fair - isn't that what you'd want? We all like to be encouraged...thanked...blessed...so encourage, thank & bless :) When we're criticised we want it to be fair and legit...so be fair & legit When someone has authority or power over us we want fairness, justice...truth...so... Jesus is asking us to break the cycles of negativity or abuse or mistrust...be the change in whatever small or big place you have in the world... #otherness #lovepeople #dotoothers #goldenrule
