Sermon on the Mount Pt. 8: Specks, Logs, and Stolen Karma Fixate PHX
-
- Christianity
Matthew 7:1-12
3 WAYS TO EVALUATE HOW I TREAT AND VIEW OTHERS
1- If you only notice specks in others and can’t remember the last time you recognized a log in yourself… there will be a “vision for your life” problem. We overestimate how much we can change others and under estimate how much we can change ourselves. Until you have learned to fix yourself with the lord, you won’t be entrusted to fix others for the lord.
2-Stop asking for good things if the only thing that comes out of your mouth about God's creation is bad. Your treatment and view of God's creation has a direct connection to God’s treatment of you. Karma was in the scriptural story before it was ever on an instagram reel, or in an easter religion. How you treat others is how you will be treated.
3- The fulfillment of the old is the foundation of the new. We receive grace to give grace, we receive forgiveness to give forgiveness, we receive love to give love… ‘we love for he first loved us..’. You wont get new revelation if you can’t follow old instructions. We serve a God who wants to deal with the logs of our hearts before we deal with the specks of those around us and the society we live in. The fulfillment of a mature follower is as follows; how well do I give love? How well do I walk in love?
