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.
