Sept. 2, 2010Day 2: Matthew 6-9
The Golden Rule. Jesus probably isn't just concerned that we know the "rule" as much as he is that we live the "golden life." This idea of doing for others what we would want done for ourselves summarizes Jesus' teaching to his disciples about how to live for others. It also captures the spirit of the law of the OT and the teaching of the prophets. In other words, living to bless others is God's will for us in all of our relationships. We are not here to live for ourselves, but to live for others. God can use it in ways we would never anticipate to touch the lives of others.
