Rules and Ways
Matthew 7:12-14
Reid Monaghan | Guest Speaker
One of Jesus’s most central teaching He hands-down to us has become known as the golden rule. It calls us to live with a moral imagination about the future and treat others in the way we wish to be treated. In doing so, He also calls us to walk in His way which at many times is misaligned with this present world. The crowd is often following a big highway that leads to destruction. We are to enter the kingdom by following King Jesus in His way.
