3 Revolutionary Principles for How to Treat People


1. Love your neighbor.

  1. There is so much hurt and pain in our world that it’s easy to become calloused.
  2. Jesus was compassionate; His whole ministry was about others.    
    1. He had EYES of compassion.
    2. He had the HEART of compassion.
    3. He had the TOUCH of compassion.
    4. He had the WALK of compassion.

2. Serve your brothers and sisters.

  1. There has never been a ruler of a great kingdom who wasn’t served.
  2. “I am among you as one who serves.”
    1. Serving has a SHIFT.
    2. Serving has a STATUS.
    3. Serving has a SPOT.

3. Forgive your enemies.

  1. Unforgiveness is like poison in your soul.
  2. Jesus taught it.
    1. Pray for your enemies.
      1. Matthew 5:44 (NLT) — 44 But I say, love your enemies! Pray for those who persecute you!
    2. Forgive 490 times.
  3. Jesus demonstrated it.
    1. “Father forgive them.”
    2. He went and found Peter after the resurrection.
    3. He would have forgiven Judas.
  4. Think about people who have truly wronged you. Can you release them?
