All the law of the prophets rests on
these two commandments, love God with all your heart and love your neighbor as
yourself. What a wonderful picture we have in this Communion meal of these two great
commandments.
We
love God because He first loved us and gave His Only Begotten for us. We love
our neighbor because he is a sinner like us. We are freely forgiven, so we
freely forgive. God has done us a good turn and we are to do a good turn for
those in our midst. We are even to love our enemies, treating them as friends,
for in this God is well pleased.
Here
is God’s promise to you, free forgiveness through Jesus. Love Him for it. Here
is God’s promise to your brothers and sisters, in Jesus, you are forgiven and
so forgive. Love them for His sake.
