Reflect on Love

We have spent this whole week looking at love and what love really means. It’s something that can easily be mistaken as predominantly romantic, most relevant on February 14th.

However, in this passage Jesus tells us to direct our love towards two things:

1) God

2) Our Neighbour

And after this command, he says in verse 28 “Do this and you will live.”

To live means to love and to love to the fullest.

Loving God and the people around us.

In a world where hate between race, religion, and political opinions is so prevalent, the command from Jesus to love our neighbour is something we need to hold onto.

It can be easy to show love to the people we like and get on with really well, but what about those who don’t automatically fit into our circle or world- we’re still called to love them too.
