Leviticus 19:1-18
Today is a no brainer day. I can never resist Leviticus 19:18. The verse number is easy to remember, it is the year the First World War ended. It speaks of loving your neighbour as yourself. A good concept for the beginning of peace.
Until this verse was pointed out to me by Maurice, a retired banker, in an ecumenical Bible Study that we were in, on the eve of the vote to reinstate the death penalty in England, I had always thought of Leviticus as a turgid book written mainly for the Jewish people and with little relevance to the modern western man or woman.
What was good enough for Jesus is good enough for me.
