Helping Like Jesus

Jesus Said to Love Our Neighbor

Jesus Christ preaching to a multitude of people. Christ is seated on a rocky hillside. He is dressed in red and blue robes. He has one arm raised. Some of the figures have their hands clasped in devotion.

One day a man asked Jesus Christ what the greatest commandment was. Jesus said the first great commandment is to love God. Then He said that the second is to “love thy neighbour as thyself” (Mark 12:31). That means we should love others and treat them the way we want to be treated.

You can read this story in Mark 12:28–31.
