Luke 10:25-37
27 He answered, ‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your strength, and with all your mind; and your neighbour as yourself.’
The first time I discovered that this was a quote from Leviticus was on the eve of the House of Commons debate on the restoration of the death penalty for murder. Google and Hansard tell me this was 12th July 1983. We were at a homegroup meeting. i cannot remember the topic for discussion but it gravitated towards the debate the following day. Maurice, a retired bank manager was there. He quoted Leviticus 19:18, pointing out that 1918 was the year the First World War finished. Maurice was a wise and gentle man. One of the many saints whom God has put in my path as pointers to his way of love.
