The Greatest Commandment

All of the New Testament teachings on interpersonal relations

follow from Jesus' commandment, "You shall love your

neighbor as yourself." When Jesus was asked which of the

commandments was most important, He replied,The first is,

"Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall

love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your

soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength." The

second is this, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself."

There is no other commandment greater than these. (NRSV,

Mark 12:26-31)The English word "love" has many different

meanings, but this "Christian love" of the Bible comes from the

Greek word agape which means good-will and benevolent

concern for the one loved. It is deliberate, purposeful love

rather than emotional or impulsive love. The King James

Version of the Bible often uses the word "charity" for this kind

of love.

"Love your neighbor" was not a new commandment (Leviticus

19:18), but the people of Jesus' time had developed a rather

narrow view of who should be considered a "neighbor." In His

Parable of the Good Samaritan, Jesus corrected that view and

teaches us that a "neighbor" is anyone we come in contact

with.

In the tradition of The Screwtape

Letters, three demons conspire to

persuade the world not to believe

or not care that the resurrection of

Jesus ever happened. Their

commentary sounds remarkably

like the negative rhetoric of this

election season.

Self-Control Taming the

Tongue:

Say, “There are really two

problems when it comes

to hurtful words. First,

somebody gets hurt when

we lose control of our

mouths. Secondly, no

matter how hard we try, or

how “sincere” we may be,

we CANNOT take back

what was said.

PEOPLE IN TROUBLE

Wrap Up:

Everyone single one of us

has been hurt by someone

else’s words at some point

in our lives. They might

have lied to us, gossiped

about us behind our

backs, or said something

that was just plain mean.

Sometimes those words

cut really deep, and we

carry them with us for far

too long.

Interpersonal relations" is not often

thought of as a Bible topic, but advice

about dealing with other people makes

up a large part of the teachings of Jesus

and His apostles as well as the wisdom

books of the Old Testament. Whether

dealing with parents, children, spouses,

family, friends, co-workers, or even

enemies, the Bible's advice is spiritually

sound and effective for promoting

peace and harmony.

WE FIX BROKEN

THINGS

James 3:2-12 (NIV)

We all stumble in

many ways. If

anyone is never at

fault in what he

says, he is a

perfect man, able

to keep his whole

body in check.

When we put bits

into the mouths of

horses to make

them obey us, we

can turn the whole

animal. Or take

ships as an

example. Although

they are so large

and are driven by

strong winds, they

are steered by a

very small rudder

wherever the pilot

wants to go.

Likewise the

tongue is a small

part of the body,

but it makes great

boasts. Consider

what a great

forest is set on fire

by a small spark.

The tongue also is

a fire, a world of

evil among the

parts of the body.

It corrupts the

whole person, sets

the whole course

of his life on fire,

and is itself set on

fire by hell.

All of the New Testament teachings on interpersonal

relations follow from Jesus' commandment, "You shall love

your neighbor as yourself." When Jesus was asked which

of the commandments was most important, He

Humility, Humbleness

But the greatest among you shall be your servant.

And whoever exalts himself shall be humbled; and

whoever humbles himself shall be exalted. (NAS,

Matthew 23:11-12)

Self-righteousness,

Arrogance, Smugness

No one is perfect; we are all

sinners in one way or another

(Romans 3:21-24, 1 John

1:8). If we treat people we

consider to be "sinners" with

scorn, or think we are better

than they are, we are guilty

of the sin of self-

righteousness:

Then Jesus told this story to

some who had great self-

confidence and scorned

everyone else: "Two men

went to the Temple to pray.

One was a Pharisee, and the

other was a dishonest tax

collector. The proud Pharisee

stood by himself and prayed

this prayer: 'I thank you,

God, that I am not a sinner

like everyone else, especially

like that tax collector over

there!For I never cheat, I

don't sin, I don't commit

adultery, I fast twice a

week, and I give you a

tenth of my income.' But

the tax collector stood at a

distance and dared not

even lift his eyes to heaven

as he prayed. Instead, he

beat his chest in sorrow,

saying, 'O God, be

merciful to me, for I am a

sinner.' I tell you, this

sinner, not the Pharisee,

returned home justified

before GodFor the proud

will be humbled, but the

humble will be honored."

(NLT, Luke 18:9-14)

AS CHRISTIAN WHAT SHALL WE DO

Christians should help each other recognize

and overcome sinful actions and attitudes, but

it must be done in a sincere spirit of love and

not with the intention to punish, embarrass or

disparage (Matthew 18:15, Luke 17:3-4, 1

Thessalonians 5:14, James 5:19-20, 1 Timothy

5:1-2, 2 Timothy 4:2).

Governments have the right to act for the

common good and take action against

offenders who threaten law and order (Luke

20:20-25, Romans 13:1-7, Titus 3:1, 1 Peter

2:13-14).

Churches have the right to excommunicate

members who are disruptive to their mission

(Matthew 18:15-17, 1 Corinthians 5:9-12, 2

Thessalonians 3:14-15).

Related verses: Luke 6:37-38, 6:41-42, John

8:2-11, Romans 2:1-4, 14:10-12, 1 Corinthians

4:3-5, James 2:12-13, 4:11-12.

WHAT WE DO

WE BRING PEOPLE CLOSER TO

GOD BECAUSE THEREARE A LOT

OF PEOPLE OUT THERE WHO

DON’T KNOW ABOUT GOD. AND

THAT HAVE TO CHANGE BUT WITH

YOUR SUPPORTER WE CAN DO

THAT!

GOD WORD AND ME

WE ARE THE ADDRESSED OF THE

WORD OF GOD. HE SPEAKS TO US

AS CREATOR AND REDEEMER

BECAUSE WE HAVE TO KNOW HIS

PLAN AND HIS WILL FOR US. WE

HAVE TO COME OUT OF OUR

EXISTENTIAL DARKNESS INTO

THE LIGHT OF A MEANINGFUL

LIFE.

The Main Idea

Through Jesus, God embraces us with

love and grace. These gifts strengthen

us in our faith and in our life. But it is

up to us to accept these gifts, to embrace

Jesus and his teachings, and to grow in

our relationship with God.

Revelation 3:20

“Look! I’m standing at the door and

knocking. If any hear my voice and open

the door, I will come in to be with them,

and will have dinner with them, and they

will have dinner with me.”

In the Hebrew tradition, sharing a meal

is a way of showing someone you care

deeply for their friendship. It is an

intimate way to express trust and affirm

the bonds of friendship and commitment.

To accept a dinner invitation was the

same as accepting a debt of gratitude

that you would someday be expected to

repay. For Jesus to promise that he

would accept an invitation from us is his

way of saying that we can trust him and

expect his kindness in return
