Today we will learn from God’s Word on how to treat others. We should treat everyone with love and grace. We fail to observe God’s teachings when we treat others rude. The rudeness hurts others and isolate the relationship between us so we need to keep us away from this behavior.
The Bible teaches us so that we respect others. But how should we have eaten how to treat others, even when he taught those who work against us to love. When Jesus was crucified, he did not show any rudeness to them. Instead he prayed to God for them.
In our daily life we are experiencing many events where it is easy to behave with rudeness. But we need to remember the principles given by God. So why do we never react to others with rudeness? Even if we get angry, we should not do any bad behavior with others.
In an incident in the Bible, we see Josephwas sold by his brothers. Later, he was put to slavery and imprisoned. Later, when he got the next place of the king of Egypt, he did not treat his brothers rude. He forgave his brothers and loved. We should change ourselves by learning from Joseph’s life.
In his letters, Paul tells the early Christians that they should treat each other with love and respect. He taught the believers to avoid strict words and to be patient and to forgive the Lord. These teachings still apply to each of our lives today.
May we adopt and follow these principles given by God in our lives. Instead of rude behavior, we should love people and treat people with humility. Through this, we can express the character of the living God to others.
