“Love Your Neighbors The Same As You Love Yourself.”

Matthew 20; Matthew 21; Matthew 22

“Love Your Neighbors

The Same

As You Love Yourself.”

Scripture

Matthew 22

37 Jesus answered, “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and most important command.
 
39 And the second command is like the first: ‘Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself.’

40 All of the law and the writings of the prophets take their meaning from these two commands.”

Observation

Love your neighbor the same as you love yourself. Do you and I need a definition of who is our neighbor? The story of the Good Samaritan covers that pretty well. Anybody who has a need is considered our neighbor. Just look around and you will quickly see that we have plenty of neighbors.

I am concerned for someone who fits the description of a “neighbor”. How about you?

 Is there someone that you need to help in some way? Maybe they need a meal. Maybe they need a friend. Maybe they are cold and need something as simple as a blanket or a heater.

 Application

I will reach out to this person and see how I can help him/her stay warmer this winter.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, help me be a good neighbor to someone today.
