"And behold, a certain lawyer stood up and tested Him, saying, 'Teacher, what shall I do to inherit eternal life?' He said to Him. ' What is written in the law? What is your reading of it?' So he answered and said, 'You shall love the Lord your god with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbour as yourself.' And He said to him, 'Ypu have answered rightly; do this and you will live.' But he, wanting to justify himself, said to Jesus, ' And who is my neighbour?' Then Jesus answered and said : " A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among thieves, who stripped himhalf dead.' " (Luke 10: 25-30)
In many years, humans are keep looking for answer about our existence in earth. many questions are asked. Philosophers have found answer and even developed a new branch of philosophy called Existentialism. They emphasis on the individual and potential
consequences of the existance or non-existance of God.
However, I don't agree with this statement. The world is simple. Peace can maintain by love. We love harmony with not split of blood. Love your friend, neighbour, the one you hate, prisoners, murders, thieves, sinners, etc. Forget what they have done in the past. Accept them with a new-born person when they asked for forgiveness. There will not not be war if nations can tolerate each other without considering their politic ideology and races.
We must also aware that peace can maintain by believing God. We must give the entirely of ourselves to God. What Jesus taught us ? Jesus taught us that love your neighbour as you love yourself . Who is our neighbour ? Our neighbour is the people around us. This means that all the citizen in this world is our neighbours including
your friend, neighbour, the one you hate, prisoners, murders, thieves, sinners, etc. I know not every can do this teacheangs. Difficult but can can be done. Remeber, for Chistian, God is love and love all of us. He also accept we (a humble sinner) with forgiveness and grace. We must do the same with our neighbour.
May God help us bring peace to the world with His grace and love. Amen
