Transformed in My Actions July 3

Remember the time? What is one of the nicest things someone has ever done for you? Maybe you have done similar nice things for others as well. Jesus said the way we treat others should reflect the way we’re treated by God. Today we look at aspects of how we treat other people

Listen for Jesus use of hyperbole. Matthew 7:1-6 (HCSB) “Do not judge, so that you won’t be judged. 2 For with the judgment you use, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. 3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye but don’t notice the log in your own eye? 4 Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your

Listen for Jesus use of hyperbole. eye,’ and look, there’s a log in your eye? 5 Hypocrite! First take the log out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother’s eye. 6 Don’t give what is holy to dogs or toss your pearls before pigs, or they will trample them with their feet, turn, and tear you to pieces.

Evaluate Yourself, Not Judge Others Jesus talks about making judgments … what does that mean? What kinds of value judgments are required to make all the time? What was the exaggeration (hyperbole) that Jesus used? Why do you think we are so quick to judge others? What are some dangers we face when we presume to judge others?

Evaluate Yourself, Not Judge Others Why is it that the traits of others that irritate us most are often the very faults that are present in our own lives? Jesus calls for good judgment in verse 6, but says not to judge in verse 1. What is the difference between good judgment and that forbidden in verse 1? What are some ways we can discover and deal with the “logs” in our eyes, the problems in our own lives that we tend to ignore? Good Judgment Forbidden Judgment

Seek God’s Wisdom Describe a situation when you have searched persistently for something lost until you found it. What would have happened if you had given up? Listen for Jesus comments on persistent prayer.

Listen for Jesus comments on persistent prayer. Matthew 7:7-11 (HCSB) “Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. 8 For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened

Listen for Jesus comments on persistent prayer. 9 What man among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? 10 Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? 11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Seek God’s Wisdom What did Jesus say will happen if we bring our requests to Him? Why should we be persistent in prayer? How can we expect God to answer our prayers? How does Jesus say our earthly father can be like our Heavenly Father? How does seeing God as a Good Father affect our relationship with Him.

Listen for a familiar quotation. Matthew 7:12 (HCSB) Therefore, whatever you want others to do for you, do also the same for them—this is the Law and the Prophets.

Treat Others How You Want to Be Treated What is the word “therefore” there for? Why is it harder to deliberately do something good for someone than to refrain from doing harm? In what kinds of situations is it hardest to treat others with kindness and respect?

Treat Others How You Want to Be Treated In what way did Jesus connect this statement to the whole of Scripture (the Old Testament at that time)? How would our culture, our society be different if we all lived by this, the Golden Rule?

Application Seek forgiveness Consider times from the recent past when you have acted judgmentally or condemned others in your heart Confess your sin to God, ask for His forgiveness If necessary seek forgiveness from those you have wronged in this way

Application Memorize Read and memorize Phil 2:3 – 4. Do nothing out of rivalry or conceit, but in humility consider others as more important than yourselves. 4 Everyone should look out not only for his own interests, but also for the interests of others. Let these verses guide you in building and keeping healthy relationships

Application Take a stand Make an effort this week to note situations where people are being mistreated. Take action to stand up for these people in obedience to Jesus’ command that we treat others as we want to be treated.
