Whoever loves God must also love his brother and sister

Whoever loves God must also love his brother and sister.  That’s not from me.  It’s from the Bible.  Certainly, non-Christians might feel no obligation to obey it.  But if we’re Christian, it’s not a suggestion.  It’s not just a “nice” thing to think about.  It’s a command!  And there aren’t any exceptions to go with it.  In case you’re wondering, or even if you’re not, that includes our “brothers and sisters” from another country.  Again, Jesus gives no exceptions.

Some of you are undoubtedly trying to remember when Jesus ever said this applies to brothers and sisters from another country.

And, if you’ve got a digital Bible and you search for brothers and sisters from another country, you won’t find it.

But that doesn’t mean it isn’t there.

It comes down to the letter of what Jesus said versus the spirit of what Jesus said.
