We are one body in Christ, and individually members one of another - (Rom 12:5)

I TREAT OTHERS AS I WOULD HAVE OTHERS TREAT ME

God's presence in man, as man, is central to several religions, but expressed differently. The ancient Greeks had many gods, all personified, mostly remote from man but in some cases also mystically within man. The Jewish Master, Jesus-Christ, became synonymous with the mystical presence of God in man. His name fulfilled the Greek need for personification and is the link between Greek religion and the one invisible God of the Jews. Through it a new understanding of Jewish and Greek spiritual ideas became possible.

God-as-man includes us all, knows no individuals apart from Itself. We perceive others as separate from us, but at bottom we are all One, and what we do to others we do to ourselves, even if we do not realise it. We imagine we can appropriate Good for our individual benefit, even divert it from others. This is illusion, and our disappointment, sooner or later, deep. So treat others as you would have others treat you, for you express the same, One, Divine presence.
