The Golden Rule

A Bible story for kids from Matthew 7:1–12. Day 202 of 365.

Jesus said, “Don't judge other people. First fix the big problem in your own eye before you point out the little speck in your friend's eye!”

Jesus said, “Ask God, and He will answer. God gives good gifts to His children.”

Then Jesus said the Golden Rule: “Treat other people the way you want them to treat you.”
