DO UNTO OTHERS

There is fear in the heart of many as they are not sure of what the next minute holds. The reason is simple, you don’t know who is who in the society you find yourself. The Bible verse above encourages us to do unto others as you would have them do unto you.  In today’s society, this would be the same as saying: treat others the way you want to be treated.  As Christians, I believe we can refer to the life of Jesus as a guide on how we’re to treat others. When Jesus began His ministry on earth, He didn’t come saying, “I am God, serve me and do as I say.”  When Christ came, one of the many things He showed His disciples (including you and I) was how we’re to treat others.  He forgave sins and past mistakes, showed mercy and grace to those who didn’t deserve it, prayed for and served others, helped the poor, healed the sick, reached out to sinners and so much more. The apostle Paul teaches that we are to work as though we are “working for the Lord and not for people.” When you are working with all your heart, motivated by the love of Christ, your work is transformed into an act of worship for God.

This simple statement by Jesus ‘So in everything, do to others what you would have them do    to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12, can be applied in so many aspects of life. If you ever are in doubt on what to do in a situation where your dealing with others, you can use this Bible verse. If someone is being mean to you, how would you want them to treat you, then do that. If you see someone in financial or simply need and you have the ability to make a difference, think what you’d like others to do to you in that situation and do that.

Prayer: Help me to always impact goodness on others
