SOME GOOD AND RIGHT THINGS TO DO TO OTHERS THAT PLEASE GOD BUT FOR US IT IS HARD FOR US TO DO IT TO OTHERS.
( Colossians 3:13 ) Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another,
if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do
ye.
* Introduction:
a. Our lesson for today is more on self-examination
for ourselves. Because many times we experience these things but we are willing
to correct it. Maybe the family or people that you always meet in your work or
school.
1. IT IS EASY TO OFFEND OTHER PEOPLE
BUT IT IS HARD FOR US TO FORGIVE THEM IF OTHER PEOPLE OFFEND US.
( Matthew 6 15-16 ) 15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses,
neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.
16
Moreover when ye fast, be not, as the hypocrites, of a sad countenance: for
they disfigure their faces, that they may appear unto men to fast. Verily I say
unto you, They have their reward.
2. IT IS EASY TO ENJOY THE SERVICE OF
OTHERS BUT IT IS HARD FOR US TO SERVE THEM IF THEY NEED US WITH A WILLING HEART.
( Hebrews 13 :16 ) But to do good and to communicate forget not: for
with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
3. IT IS EASY TO US FAVOR TO OTHERS
WHEN WE NEED IT BUT IT IS HARD FOR US TO GIVE THEM FAVOR IF THEY NEED FAVOR
FROM US.
( Psalms 5:12 ) For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with
favour wilt thou compass him as with a shield.
4. IT IS EASY TO SAY WRONG TO OTHERS
OR CRITICISE THEM BUT IS IS HARD FOR US TO ACCEPT IS SOMEBODY WILL SAY WRONG OR
CRITICISE US.
( James 4:11-12 ) 11 Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that
speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the
law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the
law, but a judge.
12 There
is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest
another?
5. IT IS EASY TO GIVE BURDEN TO
OTHERS.MAYBE IN THE FAMILY OR PEOPLE IN YOUR WORK OR IN YOUR SCHOOL.BUT HARD
FOR US TO ACCEPT IF OTHERS WILL GIVE US THE SAME BURDEN ALSO.
( Colossians 3:13 ) Forbearing one another, and forgiving one another,
if any man have a quarrel against any: even as Christ forgave you, so also do
ye.
6. IT IS EASY TO JUDGE OTHERS IF WE
WANT BUT IS HARD FOR US TO ACCEPT IF OTHER WILL JUDGE US.
( Luke 6 :37 ) Judge not, and ye shall not be judged: condemn not,
and ye shall not be condemned: forgive, and ye shall be forgiven:
* God bless you always *
