LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR

Paul, an apostle, wrote to the church in Galatia:
“For the whole law can be summed up in this one command: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’” (Galatians 5:14)

Jesus mentioned this ‘one command’ four times in the gospels and Paul twice and James once. They are each one quoting Moses from Leviticus 19:18. Even so, if the ‘one command’ isn’t something that moves beyond being a command, or a good idea, into normal Kingdom living, it is living the book and not the Father of the book, not the Lord of the book.

This is my proposal: ‘Approximately 70 million Hersey’s Kisses are produced each day. The Hershey Company produces these chocolate candies at their facilities in Hershey, Pennsylvania. There are about 100 kisses in a one-pound bag.’ They cost about 9-10 dollars a pound. This is a sure way to love our neighbor. As Paul wrote, ‘This fulfills the whole law.’ There you have it… kiss your neighbor with a one-pound bag.

“You shall love your neighbor as yourself.” Jesus
