GOD SAID TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR
Exodus 20: 8-17Among the Ten Commandments given by God, the first four commands order us to love God, and from the fifth they are commandments that tell us to love our neighbor. They can be summarized in: we must love our neighbors as ourselves (Luke 10: 27). Through this text, we must first reflect on who we should love, and what is the sin of not loving our neighbor.
1) God gives the command that says to keep the Sabbath (8-11)
Verse 8 says we must work hard for six days. welcome the Sabbath after working hard. In general, the Sabbath, the master sits and others such maids work hard. But who must rest on the Sabbath holy?(11) In God there is no distinction.
2) God gives the command not to harm others (12-17)
Verse 12 says to honor parents, and then what kind of man we must not harm? (14-17). If we reflect, we find it is not enough to do no harm to others. If we don't serve and help others positively, we come to the result to harm others. We must love God, love others, and use our material possessions properly. Without love God, we can not love our neighbor (Luke 10: 27-37).
Prayer: Lord, you are the source of love, holiness, help me, according to thy commandment, to love God, love my neighbor.
One word: love commandement (2)
