Show Notes

The “Golden Rule” is the name given to a principle Jesus taught and which can be found both  in His Sermon on the Mount and in the Sermon on the Plain. What we call the Golden Rule can perhaps be best captured by Matthew 7:12. We explore why this is such a profound Christian precept. We compare it to similar sayings from additional religious traditions and assert why it is superior. Additional scriptures referenced include Matthew 22:37-39; Matthew 5:43–44; and 1 John 4:20.
