Jesus was asked this most important question, “Which is the greatest commandment?” Jesus answered this question with two commandments. The first, “Love God with all your heart, soul and mind.” The second, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Seems like love was pretty important to Jesus.
So who is my neighbor? I believe my neighbor is everyone who lives on planet earth. So that means I am supposed to love the following people:
My Muslin Neighbor.
My Immigrant Neighbor.
My Gay Neighbor.
My Atheist Neighbor.
My Noisy Neighbor.
My Gossiping Neighbor.
My Ex-Con Neighbor.
My Person of Color Neighbor.
My Republican Neighbor.
My Democrat Neighbor.
My Independent Neighbor.
My No Political Party Neighbor.
My Racist Neighbor.
Wow! Really OC, the racist neighbor? Yes, Jesus said we are to love everyone. This is not easy. Some people are just hard to love. But if we call ourselves followers of Jesus, we must love without prejudice. ~OC
