An Appointment with Christ: A Graceful Life (Luke 6:27) Part 3

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In this episode of "A Date with Christ," the speaker discusses the golden rule, which is to treat others as you would like to be treated. The Lord Jesus Christ teaches us to be merciful and patient with others, just as we want God to be with us. The speaker uses the parable of the debtor and the king to illustrate this point. We have been recipients of God's mercy, and we are supposed to do the same with others. The speaker emphasizes the importance of looking at ourselves first and recognizing our own shortcomings before judging others. The call to action is to adopt the ethic of grace in our own lives and be blessings to the world. The presence of Jesus in our lives is the source of our ability to live up to these sublime commandments.

My brothers and friends, may the Lord bless you. Welcome to your program "A date with Christ" and this time we want to spend a few minutes with you continuing our study about grace and how we are supposed to exemplify and express that grace of God to others. We are using as a starting point these days, the passage found in the Gospel according to Saint Luke, chapter 6, beginning with verse 27 where the Lord says:

"... But I say to you who hear: love your enemies, do good to those who hate them, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who mistreat you. To the one who strikes you on one cheek, offer the other also, and to the one who takes your cloak, do not even deny him the tunic. Give to anyone who asks you, and to the one who takes what is yours, do not ask that it be returned to you and as you want men to do with you, so do you also with them”
