Both One


Full sun this morning found a bit of autumn glory.
By telling us that loving God and loving our neighbor is the greatest commandment (Mark 12:28-34), Jesus makes the point that we cannot love God if we do not love other people.  The author of the First Letter of John is even more to the point: Anyone who says, "I love God" and hates his brother, is a liar, since whoever does not love the brother whom he can see cannot love God whom he has not seen.  Indeed this is the commandment that we have received from him, that whoever loves God must also love his brother." (4:20-21)
