Jesus was stopped on one occasion and asked what a person had to do in order to inherit the Kingdom of God. Did that mean all carrying out all 613 commands and instructions in the Torah?
Jesus answered with the two that sum up all those extremely varied commandments. He said that only two sum them all up. "Love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as yourself." Luke 10:27.
So, in today's world, who is our "neighbor"? This blog will continually seek to bring news and views of who is our neighbor. This will open us up to news and views from around the globe.
In addition, I like to ask this question: "Who was 'the neighbor' in ages past?" That means this blog will talk about faithful people and how they lived out the Gospel during the history of the Church.
From the story of the first conflict recounted in Genesis, (between two brothers which resulted in a murder, Genesis 4:1-15), to the last book of the Bible, (which shows us incredible trials, tears and persecutions) we understand the need to fulfill both commands.
All life long, we keep learning how God wants us to live. It means living with a fully developed theology. It also means making space in our individual lives for agape love, self-giving love.
