The Kingdom Way - The Golden Rule

Last Sunday we finished our 9 week long summer series ‘The Kingdom way’. We looked at Jesus most well known teaching ‘the golden rule’:  

Do to others whatever you would like them to do to you. Matt 7:12

We learned that:

1. the golden rule is not self seeking: we don’t do this to get something from the other person

2. Jesus is not asking us to just passively avoid harming others (‘don’t do to others, what you don’t want them to do to you’), but rather actively doing good to others

3. and it starts in our hearts with the ability to have empathy with others. 

This is something we can’t do out of our strength, but only through the example and love of Jesus.
