Sermon on the Mount #41 Do Unto Others Before They Do Unto You? No!

There are hundreds of moral commandments in the Bible given to us by God in order to know His will, and because there are so many, we might tend to get lost at times in searching the Scripture to know God's will.
That is why the Lord gives us faithful summaries of His commandments in the Bible. That is what the Ten Commandments are: a faithful summary of God's will, giving both our duties to God (1-4) and our duties to our neighbor (5-10). Jesus then summarizes the Ten Commandments in even a smaller amount of space: Matthew 22:36-40. In our text today, Jesus gives yet another faithful summary of God's commandments related to knowing His will and our duty to our neighbor (Matthew 7:12). The main points from our text are: (1) What Is God's Will in This Commandment? (2) What Does This Commandment Summarize?
