• PER140 The parable of the measure

    The parable of the measure (PER140) teaches that the way we judge and treat others determines how God will measure us in return. Jesus calls for attentive listening, reciprocity, justice and generosity. This principle, shared by Mark 4.24-25, Matthew 7.1-2 and Luke 6.38, echoes the golden rule and forms the heart of Christian ethics.

    Matthew 7.12 (King James Version) :
    Therefore all things whatsoever ye would that men should do to you, do ye even so to them: for this is the law and the prophets.
