Showing Compassion




Leviticus 19:11-17


Tell us not to offend our brother in any way, but to show compassion. Similiar to the laws of the Ten Commandments.

 Do not steal, lie, deceive one another, swear falsely by His name etc.

The Lord is the only one who is just and fair in showing love and true judgement at the same time.


Loving our neighbor as ourself has been called the Golden Rule and offers the last rule of maintaining holiness in our actions toward others.


We are also warned not to mistreat strangers because we were once pilgrams in a foreign country.


Let's continue to show compassion to our neighbor - until we meet again soon.
