Leviticus 19:18

The First World War finished in 1918. A good year to remember to love your neighbor as yourself.
This verse is a jewel hidden in a much maligned book. Yes there are parts of Leviticus that seem very odd to us- guidance on physical relations between various species and how one should not mutilate your body.

This is one of my favorite verses in the whole Bible and it was also favored by Jesus. When asked for the greatest commandment he quoted part of this verse as the second part of his answer. I always thought that Jesus' answer was an original but as usual he was quoting the Old Testament. Everything we need to know is there.
Now all we have to do is do it.
