The Law And The Prophets

So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. Matthew 7:12 ESV

We can easily get lost and overwhelmed in the Old Testament law, and then come the prophets with lengthy Isaiah, almost as long Jeremiah, and plenty of Ezekiel, not to mention all the little guys. But what if we had a one-sentence summary of how to obey all that law and those prophets too? Jesus as the originator of all that law and prophetic word gives just that to us in His great sermon. We call it the Golden Rule sometimes, but it gives us guidance on dealing with other people. And a quick perusal of the news media today shows that some of us really need that guidance!

For those of us who believe in Jesus and long to follow Him better, this is the kind of rule to apply constantly. Plus - Bonus! - it fulfills the law and the prophets too.

Have a loving day in Christ our Lord!
