       Now, if we search the Scriptures, we will not find that exact phrase anywhere. It is something that I have derived from reading the Scriptures over and over. It is a conclusion I have made, and I have put into a phrase that makes the concept easy to recall. It is like the understanding of God as Triune. The word ‘Trinity’ actually doesn’t appear in the Bible. And yet, we have that word, that concept, to understand that God is One and yet three persons. It is a shortcut we have made for easier understanding. Another dictum we could create is the saying, “Be kind to everyone at all times, with no exceptions.” That’s an easy thing to remember, and something that seems like it would help us in our daily lives. Howbeit, it is a tall order, isn’t it? At least to me it seems like it is a tall order. Being kind to everyone all the time? Wow, quite the feat. Yet, we know that the Apostle Paul told us we are treat others with kindness as one of the fruits of the Spirit. We are to treat others well, remember, and especially Christians?
