Do to others as you would like them to do to you.
- Luke 6:31
We tend to see this line used when parents are teaching their children how to interact with others. While the verse is good for that, what about us as adults? How are you treating the people you come into contact with?
Just four verses before the above verse, in Luke 6:27, we see Jesus challenging his disciples to love their enemies and do good to them even though their enemies may hate them. Jesus continues and instructs the disciples to bless those who curse them and pray for those who hurt them even going to the extreme of giving to anyone who asks. The famous Golden Rule is found after all of this, “Do to others as you would like them to do to you.”
Jesus’ words and teaching are still true for us today. How would your enemies describe the way you treat them?
