“Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these
who are members of my family, you did it to me." ~ Matthew 25:40 ~
The Baptismal Covenant from the Book of Common Prayer concludes with five questions which draw out what it means to follow Jesus in the world today. The fourth of these questions asks:
"Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as yourself?"
The answer, as with the other questions, is "I will with God's help."
The Gospel in its most distilled form comes when Jesus teaches that we are to love God and love our neighbor as ourselves. This love of neighbor Jesus illustrated beautifully in the Parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10:25-37). Jesus concludes the story by asking which man who saw another injured on the road was the neighbor to him. The answer is, "The one who showed him mercy."
