It is a great joy to belong to such a family, who are to be found throughout the world. He loved us so much, that he suffered death for us. These are things we have to fight against, as we try to show to our brothers and sisters in Christ the love that Jesus has shown to us. There is a picture of that love in 1 Corinthians 13.

Loving our neighbour A lawyer once came to Jesus, and asked him which was the greatest commandment. This is the first and great commandment. If anyone is in need, we are to help him. We are not to stop and think whether we like him or not, or whether he really deserves our help. The greatest thing we can do for others is to pass on to them the good news of the kingdom of God, which we ourselves have come to believe.
