Matthew 6-7 is a continuation of the sermon on the mount. These chapters are chocked full of insight for living Christ-like lives, and a good summary of them all is found in 7:12: "So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets."
Such a simple concept that I so often forget. How many problems could be avoided and relationships could be improved if I would simply follow this most basic of rules. I suppose its like most things--I get so caught up in my own wants/desires/needs that I end up ignoring those of others.
May I follow this golden rule today and thereby fulfill the Law and the Prophets (Matthew 5:17).
