2nd Sunday of Luke
Saint John Of Kronstadt And The Golden Rule And The Purpose Of The Incarnation
Luke 6-31-36
2010-01-02
SYNOPSIS:The Gospel selected for St John of Kronstadt is the same as for the Second sunday of Saint Luke, and perfectly describes the purpose of the Incarnation. This Gospel contains the admonishments of our Lord to love, using concrete examples, and concludes with the promise "And ye shall be children of the highest". This is the purpose of the incarnation, and examining this Gospel along with the life of St John, which struggled to fulfill it illuminates this purpose for us. We also suggest another way to describe the "Golden Rule" and what should be our inner motivation for loving our fellow man, and doing anything that is good in this life.

Golden Rule
As Your Father Also Is Merciful
Luke 6-31-36
2015-10-18
SYNOPSIS:The reason for the Golden rule varies, depending on the level of spiritual development of the hearer. It is good to understand the "stages" a Christian goes through in obeying this rule, and what it is and what it is not. Most think it is about fairness, or, if more advanced, that it tells us to use our desires and feelings to judge how others would want to be treated. These understanding are good, but not perfect. At the end of His teaching, Jesus gives the reason why the perfect follow the Golden rule: "Be ye therefore merciful, as your Father also is merciful."
