b'Almost everyone knows the Greatest Commandment. We find it in the books of Moses, in the writings of ancient Jewish rabbis, and on the lips of our Lord Jesus Christ and His apostles. The first part of the Greatest Commandment is fairly easy to understand. We\\u2019re to love the Lord our God with all of our heart, soul, strength, and mind. The second part of the Greatest Commandment, however, isn\\u2019t very easy to understand. Down through the past five centuries, most English Bibles say: \\u201cLove your neighbor as yourself.\\u201d So, what does \\u201cas yourself\\u201d mean? I think a couple of new Bible translations finally make the meaning crystal clear when they say: \\u201cLove others as much as you love yourself.\\u201d First, \\u201cLove others\\u201d reminds us that everyone is our neighbor. Second, \\u201cas much as you love yourself\\u201d reminds us of the Golden Rule which says, \\u201cDo to others as you would have them do to you.\\u201d That is also a quote from Jesus Himself. If you\\u2019re happy that you know the Lord, if you\\u2019re grateful that your sins are forgiven, if you\\u2019re thankful that you\\u2019re a son or daughter of the King of kings, what\\u2019s the loving thing to do? Share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others. Let\\u2019s do just that again today. This is Andrew Palau.'
