Love Your Neighbor

We have not yet loved our neighbor with the kind of love that is a precept to the extent of laying down our life for him…. This is a new precept; it is a new way; it is the new human we are supposed to become. I always comfort myself by saying that Christianity is only two days old (a thousand years are as one day in the sight of God) and so it is only a couple of days that are past and now it is about time we began to take these things literally, to begin tomorrow morning and say, “Now I have begun.”
