“And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Matthew 22:39(b) (ESV).
My name is Abraham Hamilton, III and this is The Hamilton Minute.
When queried by the Pharisees concerning the “greatest commandment” Jesus answered,
You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.
He then said the second greatest commandment is “you shall love your neighbor as yourself.” He didn’t simply say you shall love your neighbor. He said Christ-followers must love our neighbors as ourselves.
Christian duty requires us to employ discernment and active empathy. We worship our LORD when put our selves in one another’s shoes as we do life together and resolve misunderstandings.
