I started reading in the book of Matthew not too long ago. I am enjoying so much of it and find it easy to read through. In chapter 7 I came across one verse that brought back many, many memories. This one verse is used in our world today. Of course the authority of Jesus has been taken out of it but it's still there. So many things in our culture today can be traced back to scripture. So many sayings out there are found in the bible. Interesting in how we take the authority of God out of things and it isn't quite as powerful anymore.
This verse brought me back to my childhood. In elementary school we first learned of the "Golden Rule". Treat others the same way you want to be treated. How much more impact would there be if we kept the "Golden Rule" with the authority of Jesus' name?
"In everything, therefore, treat people
the same way you want them to treat
you, for this is the Law and the Prophets".
Matt. 7:12
