Those who love delving into the book of Revelation will love Zechariah. Reading today’s chapter will give us the flavor of the last book of the Bible. Zechariah is based on eight visions, four messages, and two “burdens.”
Daily Word: Matthew 7:12
And so the “mountain teaching” (Matthew 5:1) continues. Today’s verse has been labeled as, “The Golden Rule.” Generally, one doesn’t hear the whole verse. “… for this is the Law and the Prophets.” Why is this important?
