Beside the Sea of Galilee, Jesus saw a man sitting in a tax booth and said, “Follow me.” Levi rose, left everything, and followed him. However, the Pharisees and scribes grumbled that Jesus ate and drank with such sinners. Jesus demonstrated His love to outsiders and outcast. His mercy came in loving kindness to persuade people to come to Christ. Christ’s love comes from God’s love for Him. Jesus affirmed the second greatest command, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” One must love oneself as God loves that person. Only that love can fulfill loving one’s neighbor as oneself. This study looks to the original command from God to Moses to love one’s neighbor as oneself and see God’s meaning from the surround passages.
