Out of curiosity, why put the 10 commandments before the words of Jesus? I dig the general point you're making but that caught my eye.
The Ten Commandments are literally the word of God, straight from their mouth (hand?) and onto stone. Doesn't get much more important than that.
God gave us 10 commandments, Jesus gave us 1.
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.
We call it the Golden rule because if you can follow that one rule you're golden when it comes to your judgment at the end of time.
Blessed are the empathetic, for they shall accrue a debt that God will repay.
I always preferred the general commandment of "don't be a dick", and everything else is just kind of a given if you follow that.
