Someone once asked Jesus which commandment is the greatest. Jesus answered: Love God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind and all your strength. And love your neighbor as yourself.
Jesus did not just talk about love. He showed it! He healed a blind man named Bartimaeus. He fed more than five thousand hungry people with just five loaves and two fish. When people tried to send children away, Jesus said, “Let the children come to me.”
Jesus' miracles were signs of God's power and love. They showed that God's kingdom had come close.
Who is my neighbor? Everyone! Our families, our classmates, people who are different from us and even people who are not nice to us.
Loving God and loving others go together, like two hands folded in prayer.
