Recent thoughts from the Gospel of Luke

(6:31)
We are meant to act in a way that would indicate how we would like to be treated, even in the face of hostility. This "golden rule" is a profound character-changing missive - it should fundamentally and radically alter who we are and how we behave; it should almost be the prime evidence for a gospel-altered life. This is the example Jesus left us for us - whilst He was being beaten, spat on, whipped, crucified, He never turned away from His persecutors but was in the process of dying for them, enabling them to find a way to life - they gave Him death; He gave them life!
