Treat People The Way You Want to be Treated (Matthew 7:8-14)

“For everyone who asks receives; the one who seeks finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. Which of you, if your son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it”(Matthew 7:8-14)

When we, the children of God, receive Jesus in us in the Holy Spirt, His Spirit indwells in us. Throughout our spiritual journey of our transformation, we change day by day to be in His image and likeness. Jesus Himself is telling us to ask Him for whatever we want, according to His will, and He will give it to us. This promise makes us very precious in Jesus’ eyes. Our Heavenly Father in heaven gives good gifts to those who ask Him in Jesus’ name.

So as we are the children of God, we must represent our Lord on earth. How people will know Jesus except through us. Our lives and our attitudes should show who we are. Jesus told us the golden rule for all those who believe in His name, which is, “do to others as you would have them to do to you.” We must treat others the way we would like to be treated. We must live a life that reflects the Holy Spirit in us. If we have Jesus in us we automatically practice the kindness virtue, where we give people the same respect we would like given to us.

Jesus continues to say that we have to enter by the narrow gate. What does Jesus mean by this phrase? Jesus is warning us that the devil will wage war with us and let us feel it is very difficult to be transformed and be like Jesus. But we have to stand firm and overcome his temptations and trials in the Holy Spirit. We have to fight him and overcome his evil spirits.

Brothers and sisters, we should exhibit love and kindness through generous acts of service. We should practice to be compassionate and considerate, have the ability to see the best in others. We see people with Jesus’ eyes to be able to love them, respect them, and have mercy on them. Amen.
