I heard Jesus says this in the bible. So by this logic, if I hurt somebody, I hurt Jesus. So then why isn't the converse also true, if somebody hurt me, then Jesus did it to me???
Why would this only work one way ?

A non Christian here but if I may? For me it's the same as when he spoke about loving our enemies. There is no merit in loving our Friends but much when we can also love those that hate us. Being good and kind to those that are strong, those above us or someone that can be of use to us does not show any real understanding of the love G_d wants us all to have for each other. We show our true selves in the way we treat the weak, those below us and all those who can not help us or give us anything. This is just my simple understanding so don't take me too seriously; I'm not a scholar.

You are not taking this in context. Jesus was telling us to care for others because what we do to others or how we treat others is the same as treating him in that way because he loved us all. No one is left out. The reverse is true in a way however. If someone hurts you, they also hurt Jesus.

Jesus was trying to convey the thought that actions do not go unnoticed by Jehovah God and his son Jesus Christ.
Also if someone was to extend themselves and help those who worship Jehovah in spirit and in truth, then Jehovah will repay those kindnesses and bless those who look after his son's sheep.
Anyone causing harm to his servants, beware, Jehovah takes notice of this too. I would not want to be on the wrong side when Jehovah exercises his mighty arm in behalf of his servants on the earth here below.

Because all the bad things come from Satan or mankind, all the good things come from God, Jesus, and the Holy Ghost. That's just how it works, just like gravity always pulls down.

Because we are to love our neighbors as ourselves. And that is not what He said, He only said that if we do it to the least of these we have also done it unto Him. May God Bless U.

You think this way because you don't know Jesus.

You truly make no sense. Does every thing you say go both ways. Your mother gave birth to you. Did you give birth to your mother. You eat beef, do cows eat people? These questions make as much sense as yours.

So does this mean that if I give some guy head, then Jesus gets off? I have always been confused by that.
If I pay the guy ten dollars, does Jesus get the money?
With love in Christ.
