12 “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." Matthew 7:12 ESV
There is just enough of my father in me that I like to find the "yeah, buts" in many situations. When I read Matthew 7:12, a "yeah, but" came to mind. Disclaimer: Since these are the words of Jesus Christ, I offer this exception with the hopes of evoking discussion, not disputing the words of my Lord and Savior.
So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them. . .
"Yeah, but" what about evangelism? I don't want my Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, etc. neighbor witnessing to me over the fence about their religion. But as a Christian, I am called to do just that. This is one case where I would do, but not want done to me.
Are there other "yeah, buts" that come to your mind when thinking of Matthew 7:12?
