Doing unto others....

Luke 6:31
Do unto others as you would want them to do unto you.


I've always wondered, even in my middle school days, how this verse can be translated in so many different ways to some people. I know that when I was younger, kids would hit eachother, then the other kid would hit back, stating 'do unto others as you want them to do unto you'.....
but think about it....

If that were the case, then the verse would have said, "Do unto others as they HAVE done unto you." But the whole point of the verse is to do to them what you WANT/WANTED done to/for you.

So when someone does something wrong to you, doing something back to them is neglecting that verse. It's you going by what YOU feel you should do, and not what God asks US to do.

When someone treats you bad, you just treat them good!

...isn't that what we want done to us from them?

Next time a person does something wrong to you, make it more of an excuse for you to do something greater in them and into others!...then watch what happens......test God.
