How to Love Your Neighbor - February 4, 2024

There is a Bible scholar named Matthew Henry who was once attacked and robbed. In his diary, he explained that he was thankful he had not been robbed before; his money was taken, but not his life. What was taken wasn’t much, and he was the one who was robbed, not the one doing the robbing. While I sincerely appreciate Matthew Henry's attitude of gratitude, it makes me sad to think he did not have a rescuer for whom he could also be thankful. The bad news is, we are surrounded by people in dire situations. The good news is, we can be the heroes they need. This Sunday, let's rediscover how Jesus makes that possible.
