"You Must Love Your Neighbor as Yourself"

 "The second [commandment] is this:  'You must love your neighbor as yourself."' - MATTHEW 22:39.

WHEN a Pharisee asked Jesus what the greatest commandment in the Law is.  Jesus said: "You must love Jehovah your God with your whole heart and with your whole soul and with your whole mind."   We discussed what this means in the previous article.  Jesus also stated what the second greatest commandment is.  He said:  "You must love your neighbor as yourself." - MATTHEW 22:34-39. 

Jesus said that we must love our neighbor. But who is our neighbor?  How can we do what Jesus said?  In this article, we will answer those questions and will see how loving our neighbor pleases Jehovah and benefits everyone.

Next time:  "You Must Love Your Neighbor as Yourself"-WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO LOVE OUR NEIGHBOR?
