Applying the “Golden Rule”
“So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. (Matthew 7:12 ESV)
In the 90’s a wristband with the acronym WWJD (What would Jesus do?) was popular among many young people.
We need to ask ourselves, “What did Jesus do?”
What did Jesus do for us?
…. but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8 ESV)
….. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. (John 10:10 ESV)
(Many more examples of what Jesus did could be added here.)
How can we apply the “Golden Rule”?
What should we do for others (“to them”)?
Since Christ showed His love for us, we should imitate Him (WWJD) by allowing His love to be reflected from us to those around us.
We need to treat others the way we want to be treated or better yet the way Christ treated us.
From Jesus through Us to Others
Future blogs on www.seekinghiskingdomministries.com will tell specific ways of how we should treat others.
