It is a great joy to belong to such a family, who are to be found throughout the world. A family with God as it s Father and Jesus as the elder Son. However although we know how we should behave towards each other, in practice it is very hard. It is these are things that we must fight against, as we try to show to our brethren and sisters in Christ the love that Jesus has shown to us. We are given a picture of what love really is, in 1 Corinthians Ch. 13.
Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
A lawyer once came to Jesus, and asked him which was the greatest commandment. This is the first and great commandment. 37-39 Jesus once told a parable which many people know quite well, about a man who was a good neighbour to an injured man and two who were not. The lesson for us, is that if anyone is in need, particularly our brethren and sisters, we must help them. We are not to stop and think whether we like them or not, or whether they really deserves our help.
