You must love your fellow as yourself. I am Jehovah.—Lev. 19:18.
You
must love your fellow as yourself. I am Jehovah.—Lev. 19:18.Jesus showed what God requires of us and how he feels about his worshippers. (Matt. 22:36-40; Luke 12:6, 7; 15:4-7) For example, after quoting one of the Ten Commandments—“you must not commit adultery”—Jesus explained God’s view of what takes place inside the heart of a man long before he commits that act. He said: “Everyone that keeps on looking at a woman so as to have a passion for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” (Ex. 20:14; Matt. 5:27, 28) After stating the Pharisaic interpretation of a statement in the Law—“you must love your neighbor and hate your enemy”—Jesus made known Jehovah’s thinking, saying: “Continue to love your enemies and to pray for those persecuting you.” (Matt. 5:43, 44; Ex. 23:4) Gaining insight into how God thinks and feels and what he requires of us equips us to imitate him more fully

Jehovah
God will raise up for you from among your brothers a prophet like me. You must listen to him.—Acts 3:22.Two thousand years ago, the birth of a certain male child caused a multitude of angels in heaven to praise God in the hearing of some shepherds. (Luke 2:8-14) Thirty years later, that child, now an adult, began a ministry that lasted just three and a half years and yet changed history. Historian Philip Schaff was moved to state of this young man: “Without writing a single line, he set more pens in motion, and furnished themes for more sermons, orations, discussions, learned volumes, works of art, and songs of praise, than the whole army of great men of ancient and modern times.” That remarkable young man was, of course, Jesus Christ. Said the apostle John: “There are, in fact, many other things also which Jesus did, which, if ever they were written in full detail, I suppose, the world itself could not contain the scrolls written.”—John 21:25.
