In reflecting on John Wesley's Rule of Life, we note his 3 major calls: "Do no harm. Do good. Stay in love with Jesus."
Tackling the first of these, what would this mean for us, on a daily basis?
'Do no harm!'
The bible has a lot to say on this matter, and so I leave you with these texts and ask us all to make our own reflections on how we can live this out.
“By doing no
harm; by avoiding evil of every kind.” – John Wesley
“When the disciples James and
John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from
heaven to destroy them?” But Jesus turned and rebuked them.” – Luke 9:54
· Romans 13:10 -
Love does no harm to a neighbour. Therefore, love is the
fulfilment of the law.
1 Corinthians 11:17 - In the following directives I
have no praise for you, for your
meetings do more harm than good.
· Revelation 7:3 - “Do not
harm the land or the sea or the trees until we put a seal on the
foreheads of the servants of our God.”
D3LM3
