Micah 6:6-8 & Matthew 7:12-14 (ESV) - We’ve seen Jesus explore many different parts of what it means to follow Him and live as a citizen of the kingdom of heaven. At this point in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus is beginning to summarize His message. If you were to try to distill all of His teaching concerning how we are to treat one another, this is how He’d do it. The Golden Rule. But far from being an easy, “Go and do likewise” passage, the Golden Rule gets right to the heart of love for neighbor. This is a love that cannot be divorced from the rest of the Christian life or our walk with the Lord. Jesus will teach us what it means to do unto others as we would have them do to us, and in doing so, He will teach us how much we need Him in order to be like Him.
