Jesus teaches us how to act and why

How to Act and Why
Passage Context
To understand forgiveness we need to understand sound judgment
Ask, Seek, & Knock for guidance - because God is good
Then we need to treat others the way we want to be treated.
Two parts but they work together.
Jesus teaches us HOW to act
The golden rule - Emperor Alexander Severus (3 century)
Easy to understand hard to do
Problems
Whatever you wish… Like You Would Want To Be Treated
We don’t know how to love ourselves well
Priorities
Who does this apply to?
What is in your power?
Examples
Politics - Legislation that shows morality - listen and try to understand/questions
Work - Respect & opportunity
Family - Grace and prayer - allow them to mature
Treat others the way you want to be treated
Jesus teaches us WHY we take the hard way
Gate = house, palace, temple, city

JESUS & HIS TEACHING equals the gate
Discipleship is hard and not everyone does it
Not exterior markers
Church attendance
Community involvement
Number of Bible readings per week
Unseen interior markers
Understand forgiveness
Giving Grace
Loving yourself and others when they don’t understand
ONLY FOLLOWING JESUS - gives LIFE
What about those who never hear the name of Jesus
1 - You are asking you don’t count
2 - God’s Characteristics - Good & Just
3 - You have a role to play in this
SO how do we tell people about Jesus - see the golden rule
We don’t need a lot of rules if we accept Jesus’ love and love others out of that love
