"This is the Law and the Prophets," Matthew 7:12.
(Wait - What's the Law and the Prophets? It's most of what we often call the Old Testament writings. OK.) So. What's the Law and the Prophets? All those pages and pages, hundreds and hundreds of them, all those teachings find their summary in this line: Treat other people how you want them to treat you. That's it. That's what it's all about. That's life in the sky kingdom. In fact, that was life the way it was designed to be from the beginning. Life the way Jesus lived it out in our time. And life the way it is purposed to be in the forever.
We meet a brother or sister today genuinely attentive to each other. And we give thanks to God for the opportunity to taste eternity in the present.
