Do Unto Others

Luke 6:27-38: The Golden Rule isn’t so much setting up one more rule we have to figure out how to follow correctly, and get just right.  Instead, each of the verses in the passage from Jesus' "sermon on the plain," including the Golden Rule, is not a command or a rule, but a promise.  The promise, essentially, that the world doesn’t have to be the way it is.  That there is another option, an option grounded in active love – in love that does for others.
