Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law of the prophets (Matthew 7:12).
Here in the sublime precept that we call the Golden Rule, Jesus reiterates that great Law in a concise summing up. This repetition follows upon his wonderful statement of the fatherhood of God. The underlying explanation for the existence of the great law is the fact that we are fundamentally all parts of the Great Mind. Because we are all ultimately one, to hurt another is really to hurt oneself, and to help another is really to help oneself. The fatherhood of God compels us to accept the brotherhood of man, and spiritually, brotherhood is unity.
What a wonderful world we would awaken to if today, every person in the world became our friend and a member of our family. Then we would truly see that every person is a part of God and us, and we would not think of hurting them, or wishing them harm. We would not gloat over their failures or desire anything they have. Instead, we would forgive them, pray for them and help them, just as we pray for ourselves, our family and our friends. We would have compassion for them and feel sorrow when they are sad. We would love them, wish the best for them and be one with them. As Louis Armstrong said, “What a wonderful world!”.
In wonder,
