Who is my neighbor? (Second part of Great Commandment)

Yesterday during devotional time, I read through the Gospel of Luke. There was a story about a man asked Jesus what must he do in order to inherit eternal life. As the conversation goes on, the Great Commandment is brought out:

"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind’; and, ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’"

However, that man wanted to justify himself so he said to Jesus: "And who is my neighbor?"

Then, Jesus replied him with the parable of "Good Samaritan".

Luke 10:30-37. (You can read it later on.)

I realized one thing. The second part of the Great Commandment means ACTION!

Yes! ACTION!

How we treat all those people we saw besides the street that is hungry.and needy.

How we treat that brother from another cell group that have been through a long day and needs encouragement, or that sister from another denomination that have just lost a job.

How we treat that random stranger that is almost giving up on his life, and all he needs is just an embrace, thus his life will be spared.

This is the second part of Great Commandment, and it means ACTION!

God bless you all.
