You don't have to be a genius to love your neighbour.

Its really not that complicated to figure out.

God moves history forward differently from the way we think and plan it. The fact that someone came from Nazareth, one of the most insignificant villages in Israel, and began to call disciples; that one day he placed twelve of those disciples before the others and said, "this is the beginning of the eschatological Israel," is a completely improbable and, on the face of it, an "impossible" story. Most certainly many at the time gave their prognosis: "nothing will ever come of this." They were wrong. In the decades that followed, hundreds of Christ communities arose everywhere around the Mediterranean basin. Gerhard Lohfink

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.

This is the first and great commandment.

And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.
