Known as the golden rule - Matthew 7:12

Jesus' standard for treating others was not how they treated him

He demonstrated his incredible compassion:

• Touched the leper - Matthew 8:3
• Healed many - Matthew 8:14-17
• Broke social and racial barriers - John 4
• Compassion for a woman caught in adultery - John 8:3-11
• Noticed a woman's suffering in a crowd - Luke 8:47
• Called little children to him - Luke 18:16

He always asked  - How would I want to be treated?

Do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit - Philippians 2:3-5

Jesus walked with his disciples teaching them to put others first not theology
