Who do you love?

Wednesday September 13th, James 2: 8 You will do all right, if you obey the most important law in the Scriptures. It is the law that commands us to love others as much as we love ourselves. 9 But if you treat some people better than others, you have done wrong, and the Scriptures teach that you have sinned. 10 If you obey every law except one, you are still guilty of breaking them all. In loving others we are sometime tempted to ask, as did the young man in Luke 10, just who is our neighbor. Jesus answered him by telling the story of the “good Samaritan” and asking him who acted like a neighbor. Variations of that story today are still the correct way to get into the question and the answer of to whom that love extends. Are you acting like a neighbor today? To whom are you not acting like a neighbor (not loving as yourself)? Your job for today is to do something to correct that.
