I have labeled today’s message “Do unto…”
meditating on Jesus’ command
to love our neighbor as ourself
remembering the golden rule
to do this in a manner we ourselves want to be loved.

Today’s Scripture is found in the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Romans,
chapter 12, verses 19 and 20.

Dear friends, never take revenge.
Leave that to the righteous anger of God.
For the Scriptures say,

“I will take revenge; I will pay them back,” says the Lord.

Instead,
“If your enemies are hungry, feed them.
If they are thirsty, give them something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals of shame on their heads.”
