And thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
Luke 10.27
Love neighbour
The lawyer continues his answer to Jesus. Life is to be discovered not simply in love for God but also in love for neighbour.
In both parts of his answer the lawyer has quoted from the Old Testament, but not the obvious 10 commandments. It’s love, not rules.
Stop and Think
What does it mean for you to love your neighbour? Who is your neighbour?
How do you express that love in practical ways?
How do love for God and love for neighbour relate?
Choose to Act
Choose to do something today to express love for someone else. Pray for the eyes to see others as your neighbours and not as strangers.
