Loving your neighbor as yourself is actually reciprocating and displaying this unconditionable, unfathomable love in a small way, in a unique way that can actually allow a finite human brain to comprehend that there is a supernatural God that loves them, that sees them, and that has made them and has a purpose for their life. The last thing I want to say about loving our neighbor as ourself is
our neighbor isn't always gonna be someone that has done us right. Our neighbor is gonna be people that have done us wrong. Our neighbors are also gonna be people that we've hurt. And that's when I reflect on the story of King David and Saul. You know, there's this time where Saul gets jealous and he starts chasing King David, trying to kill King David.
and there becomes a point where saul takes a rest in a cave and david finds saul sleeping in a cave and david is confronted with this moment where this entire time period this man has chased him trying to kill him out of jealousy and now david is looking over standing over someone who has been attempting to take his life and he's looking over this man sleeping in a cave and he has an ultimate decision to make
Am I going to stop this now by ending his life because he's tried to take mine? Or once he wakes up, he's going to continue to pursue David. And David is looking down on Saul. And he does end this battle of jealousy, but not in the way that we naturally think. You see, Saul ends up waking up the next morning and he begins the hunt again and then David sneaks up behind him and he goes, Saul!
And Saul turns around and looks at him and in Saul's brain he's looking at the very man he's been hunting and trying to kill and Saul's looking at him and he's confronted with this moment of finally I'm about to kill this guy and all the jealousy and rage is built up, this eye for an eye. David didn't even do anything.
It's just, you know, David was anointed by God and was called by God and Saul saw something and coveted something that he didn't have and so he's looking at him and And when Saul is filled with this rage and jealousy and wants to act on it, David holds up a piece of Saul's cloth that he cut off. And he said, Saul, look, this is your cloak. I could have killed you.
And David actually ends this battle of jealousy and this battle of hatred with love, an unconditional love that doesn't say, well, you tried to kill me, so I'm going to kill you. It's actually, no, look, I could have killed you, but good kings don't throw spears. And when I read that story, man, it encourages me so much.
Just like King David, where he had the opportunity to repay evil in a greater manner, but instead he said, no, look, I'm going to show a love that has zero strings attached. I'm going to show a love that doesn't make sense to the brain. It offends the brain, but it reaches the heart. And if you read the rest of the story, I mean, Saul falls to his knees and begins to cry.
Because Saul, in a sense, is expecting to have returned what he was dishing out. It's like this karma mentality that we convince ourselves. Like he was dishing out jealousy, hatred, and murder, and he was expecting to have that returned. But instead, King David doesn't repay him with evil, but he says, look, your life I could have taken.
But instead of taking your life, let me give you life with this love that you didn't show me that is accessible on the table. So in reality, this loving your neighbor thing all has to ultimately do with your perception of who God is. And this is something that I'm learning today. Again, I said this a couple episodes ago, but the heart of this stuff is stuff that I'm learning, man.
God is so cool because when I understand God, the unconditional, no strings attached love that he has for me, when I understand this, it motivates me and strengthens me to love other people. So how can you love your neighbor as yourself? Well, my friend, when you see yourself rightly in the eyes of Christ, how can you love your neighbor as yourself?
You can love your neighbor as yourself, the same way a goldsmith purifies gold. The goldsmith knows that the gold is finished purifying when he looks over the pot and sees his reflection in the gold.
In the same way, you can love your neighbor as yourself when you realize that when Christ looks down on you, he sees his reflection in you, and that motivates you to love people with the same unconditional, no-strings-attached love that Christ shows you. God, I thank you so much for this day, God. God, I just have one request.
Would you give us the strength to love our neighbors as ourself, whether our neighbors be people that have done us right or done us wrong or people that we've done wrong. God, give us the strength through your spirit to love our neighbor as ourself. In Jesus' name, amen. Guys, thank you so much for watching and tuning into these episodes.
