In other words, he wants us to treat each other like Christ treated people. Why? Because we can’t be right with God and be wrong with people! This reminds me of Micah’s inspired word: He has shown you, O mortal, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8). “This is what the Lord Almighty says: “Administer true justice; show mercy and compassion to one another. Do not oppress the widow or the fatherless, the alien or the poor. In your hearts do not think evil of each other.” Zechariah 7:9-10.
