ALWAYS LIVE IT!

ALWAYS LIVE IT!

The GOLDEN RULE is

ONE of the CORE teachings of Jesus

In Matthew today=we read it=

And it is PART

Of the SERMON on the MOUNT=

ALWAYS LIVE IT!

“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

Most of us have LEARNED

This law=and recite

This law=

From the TIME

We were children

WHY then=do we STRUGGLE

So much to live it?

The REASON we struggle

With it=is

Is because it is IMPOSSIBLE

To do=almost

ALL the time

ALWAYS LIVE IT!

Always live the GOLDEN RULE

“But he knows

The way I take=

When he has tested me=

I will come forth

AS GOLD” Job 23:10

“Because I love your commands

MORE THAN GOLD=

More than PURE GOLD” Psalm 119:127

“A good name

Is more desirable

Than great riches

To be esteemed

Is better=than silver OR GOLD” Proverbs 22:1

ALWAYS LIVE IT!=

Always live=the golden rule

WHY is this so difficult

To live?=we see EXAMPLES

Of cruelty and disrespect

All around us=

We may even be GUILTY of it=ourselves

Instead we practice

A CHEAP IMITATION

Of the golden rule

We TREAT OTHERS well

If they agree with us=

If they-

SHARE OUR FAITH=

If they BELONG to

The SAME political party

As us=or if they

TREAT US WELL FIRST

The LORD'S rule is SIMPLE

“Do unto others=

Whatever you would have them

DO to you”

In other words=

LOVE ONE ANOTHER!

Always live it!

“A new command=

I give you=LOVE ONE ANOTHER

As I have loved you

So you MUST love one another

By this=everyone will know

You are my disciples=

If you LOVE ONE ANOTHER” John 13:34

The golden rule=LOVE one another

LIVE IT ALWAYS!

In Jesus' name=and in the name=of our FOREVER LOVING HOLY FATHER!
