Scriptural Text:
Jesus’ Unique Golden Rule
Hillel, the Hebrew rabbi, said, “Do not do to thy neighbor what is hateful to thyself.”
Socrates, the Greek philosopher, said, “What stirs your anger when done to you by others, that do not do to others.”
Confucius, the Chinese sage, said, “What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.”
These statements are worlds away from what Jesus said.
Their rules are negative and passive.
Jesus’ rule is positive and active.
In essence these wise men said, “Avoid doing to others what you do not want done to you.”
Jesus said, “Think of something good you wish someone would do for you, then do it for someone else.”
Herschel H. Hobbs, My Favorite Illustrations (Nashville, TN: Broadman Press, 1990), 43.
And the Lord make you to increase and abound in love one toward another, and toward all men.
