"Love your neighbor as yourself." (Leviticus 19:18)
Who said that? Jesus did,
in his Sermon on the Mount, in Matthew 5:43.
He was quoting this passage from Leviticus, which is in the
larger context of "rules for getting along with your community." But Jesus expands its meaning and
application. Here's what Jesus said in
Matthew 5:43: "You have heard that
it was said, 'Love your neighbor and hate your enemy.' But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who
persecute you, that you may be sons and daughters of your Father in
heaven." That's pretty hard for me
to do sometimes; is it for you?
Love and Prayers, Dan
