THE GOLDEN RULE

Matthew 7:12
“Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. This is the essence of all that is taught in the law and the prophets.

This teaching of Christ, summarizes the law and the prophets. It is the basis of love. Putting yourself in the place of others.

In all He taught, Christ lived the example, thus after teaching long hours he was not considering taking in food or water himself, but he had compassion on the same crowd he taught. He was not only caring about their soul being fed, he cared about their body being taken care of too. (Does this look like anything our spiritual leaders practice today? -  just asking . . . )

Philippians 2:4-5
Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too.
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

If we really are of Christ we should have the same mind set. Yes the world is evil, but ARE YOU?

John 8:23
Jesus continued, “You are from below; I am from above. You belong to this world; I do not.

He then said of us:

John 17:16
They do not belong to this world any more than I do.

Glory to God, we are of the Father's kingdom. We must let this sink in, thus when we are tempted to be carried away to think and act alien to our kingdom heritage, we must resist and live the life of whom we are. Others messing up cannot change our royalty. We raise our heads up and stay victorious.

So dear brethren, put yourself in the place of that person, (be they your children, colleague, boss, superior, subordinate, neighbour, friend etc), will you be happy if you are treated that way. The actions you are taking, will it be okay with you if you were to change places? How do you treat your spouse? Will it be okay if they treat you the same way?

This is the golden rule. The problem of the world is wrapped up in one trying to take advantage of the other, that is the origin of wars.

That person you speak to anyhow, hope you will be happy if the person speaks back to you the same way. That person you take advantage of, hope it will be okay with you at payback time. See no one is Elshaddai except the Heavenly Father, no man actually has dominion over another.

Some kings in Israel and some nations of old missed this and they were slain by their own servants. Selah

If our leaders walked by the golden rule, the nation will be prosperous, things will be in place and the people will be happy.

If we are of Christ, let us live like Him. Let us follow His rules.

Do you need to change, it is never late. It always pleases the Father to see us follow the right path.

He calls us blessed.

Love
@the watcher.
