… A lawyer asked Jesus a question, testing Him, “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”
And, He said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.” This is the greatest and foremost commandment. And the second is like it: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew 22:35-39
Did you ever notice that Jesus did not give us a lot of complicated rules to follow?
But just because the rules are not complicated, does not mean that they are not difficult.
Think about this, how difficult is it to love someone whose actions we do not like?
Yet, it is easier to love than to hate because hate festers and love heals all heels.
Love your neighbor.
