For this discussion, I want to specifically focus on ethics as it relates to people. Ethical discussions about animal rights and ecology are important, but we'll save them for another day. For many, ethical behavior describes the limits of what can and cannot be done and gotten away with. In this definition morality seems far away.
Ethics encompasses more than judicial considerations.
Ethics is about how people treat people. It's not complicated. Basically, if someone would treat his or her 'Gran' that way, then it should be okay to treat anyone that way. The Scripture focus for this week's lesson refers to 'the glory of the Lord'. Jesus cared for the ill and helpless more than the legalists.
