Malice Toward None: Love 2024 09 22

Helotes Hills United Methodist Church

Scripture references: Matthew 22:34-40 and Matthew 7:12

Jesus names us many times in scripture as neighbors” to one another. We have been depending on his vision for the neighbor-liness of humanity as we navigate our own search for good news.” Together, we will continue to find ways to tell deeply good news for all people by filtering our interactions through the lens of love. Today’s scripture reminds us that interpretation of the law has always been difficult for humanity. We have never been of one mind. But as we have heard in this series, what we put into the world is part of the ongoing creation of the world. Is it possible to put love out there as always the first impulse for interpretation?
