The Golden Rule

Published: Feb. 15, 2021, 11 a.m.

Matthew 7:12 makes plain the “golden rule'' which is whatever you want one to do for you , you too do for them.  Our fore-parents summed it up like this do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

If you don’t like to be disrespectful, then go out of your way to not disrespect another.  The problem we tend to have is because some may disrespect us because we think we have a viable right to return their disrespect with more disrespect.

Our Scriptures tell us if you see your enemy hungry, go buy that person lunch, or if he’s thirsty, get him a drink. Your generosity will surprise him with goodness. Don’t let evil get the best of you; get the best of evil by doing good.

Disrespect desires conflict and is exalted with more disrespect.  Conflict desires harsh words and is exalted with more conflict.  And anger desires evil and is exalted with more evil.  But if you want to shut down acts of disrespect, conflict, anger and even ridicule, be “peace” in a storm,  and light in darkness, rise above what is trying to bring you low. 

The bible teaches in Romans 12:20 by doing this you will heap burning coals on the head of your adversary.
