Love your neighbour
I'm reading the book "simply Jesus" by N.T Wright
He is asking himself and us some questions.
Who was Jesus?
Why did he do the things he did?
How can we be sure?
etc.
Jesus was, and still is not easy to understand.
Mark 12:30-31
30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’[a] 31 The second is this: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’[b] There is no commandment greater than these.”
Love your neighbour as yourself. What does that really mean? Jesus also said Love your enemies.
for centuries Christians have been living Jesus words, and especially love your neighbour and love your enemies, and while doing so they have been either killed, driven away , even whole community's and city's completely erased from Christianity. Churches has been turned into something else, christian heritage wiped away.
We see this in the middle east and in many places in northern Africa.
We do need to reflect on His words.
I wonder what does it mean to love your enemies? to love your neighbour?. Is that really what we should do?
