Golden Gates (Sermon on the Mount)

Although the Bible does not use the phrase, "Golden Rule", verse 12 established the principle. We are to treat people how we want them to treat us (not how they actually treat us). When Jesus speaks this verse, it is really a great summary of what He has been teaching in the Sermon on the Mount. Jesus will contrast two things to show the true and false path. The broad or wide path lead to the gate of destruction. The narrow or straight path leads to the gate of eternal life.
