LOVING ALL OF OUR NEIGHBORS

Micah 6:8 New King James Version
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you
But to do justly, To love [a]mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?

GOOD EVENING IN YESHUA MY FRIENDS!!!
I can just picture the scene near the temple in Jerusalem. Not only the Pharisees, but the Hellenistic Jews, the Sadducees, and so many other religious leaders, and even to an extent this arrogant scribe/ lawyer trying to make Jesus look bad, and it fails. But in the midst of this, I believe the scribe, has major case of humility, and realizes just what Jesus is trying to say, and it's no wonder why Jesus tells him that he's not far from the kingdom. I think that's why every time I read this parable, I learn not only something new from it, but I'm also reminded of just who my neighbor is, and God has called me to extend His love and mercy to them, no matter who they are, what they think they are, or anything else about them.

That's why tonight, my friends, I'd like to share some things God showed me out of his word this morning, through this vlog I'd like to share with all of you tonight, and I pray that what I do share with you, shows you how important it is to extend God's love to everyone, love regardless of who they think they are, or anything else about them. Come join me in this vlog tonight my friends and learn this precious truth for yourself! 😊

So, my friends, as I close this post with all of you tonight, I want to leave you with these questions from this morning's devotional, and I pray that they help you think about just to your neighbor is, and that you are willing to show that love and Mercy to them.

How has God shown you His love through an unexpected neighbor?

Who can you show God’s love to in a practical way this week?

I want to challenge you tonight to put yourself in the place of the victim in this parable and ask yourself who would you want to be your neighbor in this situation, and then act as that neighbor for a person you know that's in need. Don't let their skin color, ethnicity, socioeconomic background, or yes even their lifestyle get in the way of showing God's love and mercy to them, because they deserve it too. Remember guys, you are the only example of Jesus that this lost world sees, and you better make sure you're representing him properly, by showing true love, mercy, and compassion to everyone that you encounter. You can do this and still stand against the sin, but you want to make sure that you are living by the scripture which states to love God first and love your neighbor as yourself because they're the two most important things yet.

UNTIL TUESDAY:

HAVE A MAGNIFICENT EVENING IN CHRIST JESUS!!!
