Luke 6:31
And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them
likewise.
In all probability the Spirit of God will begin to
show us that people are where they are because we have neglected what we ought.
Today the great craze is socialism, and men are saying that Jesus Christ came
as a social reformer. Nonsense! We are the social reformers. Jesus Christ came
to alter us Jesus alters us and put us right; then these principles of His make
us social reformers. They begin to work straightway where we live, in our
relationships to our fathers and mothers, to our brothers and sisters, our
friends, our employers, our employees. “Consider how God has dealt with you,”
says Jesus, “and then consider that you do likewise to others.”
