Golden Rule

Note from Study Bible

Versions of the “Golden Rule” existed before Christ, in the rabbinic writings and even in Hinduism and Buddhism. All of them cast the rule as a negative command, such as Rabbi Hillel’s version, “What is hateful to yourself do not to someone else.” Jesus made it a positive command, enriching its meaning and underscoring that this one imperative aptly summarizes the whole gist of the ethical principles contained in the Law and the Prophets.

Our prayers are not for us to be seen, but for us and our hearts to be seen by God. It is not for us to receive Glory, but for him to receive Glory and Honor and Praise, and to petition him for his will ours needs? It’s not about us, but about him.

Choose Life (see more below)

loses his life … will save it. This paradoxical saying reveals an important spiritual truth: those who pursue a life of ease, comfort, and acceptance by the world will not find eternal life. On the other hand, those who give up their lives for the sake of Christ and the gospel will find it. Cf. Jn 12:25.

In my own strength, I would not have the capacity to love, but Paul says, in Philippians, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. –Lord, through your strength, help me to love others who are unlovable, just as I was to you.–

No matter what you may going THROUGH (Remember, it is temporary, not permanent), May Jesus walk you through it with all joy and peace, filled with his Spirit, which he has given to all freely, who receive it!

It is through Jesus, that we have received everything we need for life in him. As undeserving as we are, Jesus took it upon himself, to bear our transgression, so we might be set free, from the bondage of sin. Can I please get an Amen!

Oh, the joy of a child who walks with Jesus. On the other hand, it’s heartbreaking, for the children who don’t. I need to remember, for my ones who don’t, God did not give up on me, in my waywardness, and it should be our example, for not giving up on our wayward children. I pray that the Spirit will draw them to himself.

Who am I Lord, that I should hold anything against a brother in Christ. You have forgiven much, and I should do the same. Help me Lord, to fight against foolish pride. You are my way, my truth and the light that shines brightly.

Matthew 4:19 – And he said to them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.

The Bible calls Christians, Overcomers. It’s because Jesus, who we follow, was the ultimate Overcomers. He went from death to life, thus giving his followers that same gift for all of Eternity, with him.
