The Golden Rule that Jesus taught is fundamentally different than any other philosophically teaching of its kind through history. What Christ taught was an action phrase that requires us to step into others lives. It is much easier to just not cause someone pain than in “everything” do them right.

How can anyone truly implement this golden rule? – The answer of the gospel is that you must start with God – greatest command “love God and love people”– start with God

How can we be as it says in Philippians 4, anxious for nothing when there are so many things to be anxious about? There are many pieces to that puzzle: contentment, a thankful heart, good friends, good counsel, a good doctor, and remembering that God knows you and loves you because you are his creation!
In this next section of the sermon on the mount Jesus is calling his followers to a life of keeping our focus on the Father not on those around us.

Jesus people, followers of Christ are known by what they do to help the world flourish. When the Gospel impacts our lives, we IMPACT the world. We strive to be salty and to shine.
Blessed are you who are persecuted. What does that look like? How can you be blessed in persecution?
