This most famous saying of Jesus is an oft misunderstood moral obligation that goes far beyond the typical requirement of laws to do no wrong. Instead, Jesus teaches his followers that they must actively interact with others according to his standard of righteous living as exemplified by the command to "love your enemies". Instead of seeking preferential treatment for ourselves, we must be the servant of all. Instead of indulging in favoritism, we must treat everyone as equals and show to each person in our lives the grace that God has given to us. The example of Christ is paramount here: he became a servant that he might save everyone who believes. We too must adopt the attitude of a servant, only then will we truly be able to "do to others as you would have them do to you."
