God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
You have heard of the “Golden Rule.” Rules like this have been floating around long before the time of Christ. There were some that advocated, “Balanced Reciprocity.” That is, do good to others so they might do good to you. Good for good. Treat others well because it will come back to benefit you. Karma. Give to get back. Then there was “Negative Reciprocity.” That is, do not treat others in a way you would not what them to treat you. We may tell our kids, “Would you like it if someone took your lunch money?” Or, “How would you feel if a person said those things about you?” Or, “Wouldn’t you be sad if you were the bus driver and kids acted that way.” Our Lord’s teaching in verse 31 goes beyond both of these. It’s a new imperative that was unheard of at the time, even in the teachings of Judaism. This command would have been bizarre to Luke’s Gentile readers. Unlike the other two rules I mentioned, the “Golden Rule” is positive. This one expects no reward in return from other humans it serves. People are not business deals! Treat others in a way you want them to treat you. So it’s not, “Just don’t pick on that kid, but rather sit with him when he’s alone at the lunch table because that is what you would want if you were in his shoes.”
For a dessert that's even easier to prepare, top a commercial light pound
cake or angel food cake with fat-freebutterscotch-flavored sundae syrup.
Trim crust from bread using a serrated knife, and discard crust. Cut bread
into 1-inch cubes. Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a baking

milk, brown sugar, bourbon, vanilla extract, and eggs in a large bowl; stir
well. Add bread cubes and raisins; toss gently. Cover and chill 45 minutes.
Spoon mixture into a 9-inch square baking dish coated with cooking spray.
Cover and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Uncover and bake an
additional 25 minutes or until pudding is set.
Microwave at HIGH 30 seconds or until warm. Serve syrup with bread pudding.
