Planks and Sawdust
12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
Planks and Sawdust
How much sawdust is there in a foot of 2x4? A lot, a great big pile, far more than one or two specks. Jesus was at it again, choosing a comical illustration for a very painful point. This passage is one which I have to keep remembering, especially when I am with my family! It is so easy to be irritated by another person's behavior and ignore our own idiosyncrasies. It is far too painful to give any examples without appearing 'holier than thou'.
12So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets.
