Warning
In the book of Obadiah we read,
“The day of the Lord is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your head.” Obadiah 1:15.
Here is a warning to all people presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, politicians, religious leaders, and the average person. “Your deeds will return upon your head”
Jesus said,
“So in everything, do to others what you would have them do to you, for this sums up the Law and the Prophets” Matthew 7:12.
You could take Matthew 7:12 this way. If you are harming others then it could be assumed you want others to harm you. If you are doing anything bad to others, then it could be interpreted that you want bad things to happen to you. As Obadiah said, “...As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your head”
Jesus told this parable within which is a warning. He said,
“There was a rich man who was dressed in purple and fine linen and lived in luxury every day.
At his gate was laid a beggar named Lazarus, covered with sores and longing to eat what fell from the rich man’s table. Even the dogs came and licked his sores.
“The time came when the beggar died and the angels carried him to Abraham’s side. The rich man also died and was buried.
In hell, where he was in torment, he looked up and saw Abraham far away, with Lazarus by his side.
So he called to him, ‘Father Abraham, have pity on me and send Lazarus to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in agony in this fire.’
“But Abraham replied, ‘Son, remember that in your lifetime you received your good things, while Lazarus received bad things, but now he is comforted here and you are in agony.
And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, so that those who want to go from here to you cannot, nor can anyone cross over from there to us.’ Luke 16:19-26.
Jesus when asked,
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
Jesus replied: " ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.'
This is the first and greatest commandment.
And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.'
All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments." Matthew 22:36-40
Matthew also recording Jesus as saying,
"You have heard that it was said, ‘Love your neighbour and hate your enemy.'
But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you,..." Matthew 5:43,44.
So if you consider yourself a Christian are you doing to others what you would have others do to you?
When you stand before God what will He say to you?
Please think about it.
