In Matthew 22:36-39, a legal advisor challenges Jesus asking him, "Teacher, which is the immense rule in the Law?"
Jesus answers him saying, "You shall love the Lord your God with everything that is in you and with everything that is in you and with all your brain. This is the colossal and first edict. Furthermore, a moment resembles it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself" (ESV).
The principal verse Jesus cites is from Deuteronomy 6:5, however the second is from Leviticus.
For Jesus, to love your neighbor as yourself implied Leviticus 19:9– 18:
"When you procure the collect of your territory, you shall not harvest your field up to its edge, neither shall you assemble the gleanings after your reap. Also, you shall not strip your vineyard uncovered, neither shall you accumulate the fallen grapes of your vineyard. You shall abandon them for poor people and for the sojourner: I am the LORD your God.
You shall not take; you shall not bargain erroneously; you shall not deceive each other. You shall not swear by my name erroneously, thus befoul the name of your God: I am the LORD.
You shall not mistreat your neighbor or loot him. The wages of an employed specialist shall not stay with all of you night until the morning. You shall not revile the hard of hearing or put a hindrance before the visually impaired, however you shall fear your God: I am the LORD.
You shall do no treachery in court. You shall not be inclined toward poor people or concede to the immense, however in honorableness shall you judge your neighbor. You shall not go around as a slanderer among your kin, and you shall not confront the life of your neighbor: I am the LORD.
You shall not abhor your sibling in your heart, but rather you shall reason honestly with your neighbor, for fear that you bring about transgression as a result of him. You shall not get revenge or maintain a longstanding animosity toward the children of your own kin, however you shall love your neighbor as yourself: I am the LORD" (ESV).
For Jesus, to love your neighbor as you love yourself was to rehearse equity towards your kindred people:
For Jesus, to love your neighbor as you love yourself was to rehearse equity towards your kindred people:
Live liberally towards poor people and outsider (Lev. 19:9– 10).
Try not to take from anybody (Lev. 19:11).
Try not to be beguiling in dealings with individuals (Lev. 19:11).
Try not to swear in God's name (Lev. 19:12).
Try not to mistreat, victimize, or misuse the poor by paying uncalled for compensation (Lev. 19:13).
Try not to revile the hard of hearing or put a hindrance before the visually impaired (Lev. 19:14).
Try not to be inclined toward poor people or show support to the considerable yet judge genuinely (Lev. 19:15).
Try not to submit monetary extortion. The word defame in Hebrew is rakhil, and it might be identified with the term rokheleth, which means vendor. (Lev. 19:16).
Try not to detest your sibling (Lev. 19:17).
Try not to look for retribution or hold resentment yet broaden forgiveness (Lev. 19:18).
For Jesus, addressing Jews formed by the Torah, this is the thing that adoring your neighbor resembled. In 21st-century America, how does this influence how you love your neighbor?
Would you be able to envision a reality where individuals loved each different along these lines?
Marinate on that.
For Jesus, to love your neighbor as you love yourself was to practice justice towards your fellow human beings.
