"Thou shalt love thy neighbour." --Matthew 5:43
"Love thy neighbour." Perhaps he
rolls in riches, and thou art poor, and living in thy little cot side-by-side
with his lordly mansion; thou seest every day his estates, his fine linen, and
his sumptuous banquets; God has given him these gifts, covet not his wealth, and
think no hard thoughts concerning him. Be content with thine own lot, if thou
canst not better it, but do not look upon thy neighbour, and wish that he were
as thyself. Love him, and then thou wilt not envy him.
Mayhap, on the other hand, thou art rich,
and near thee reside the poor. Do not scorn to call them neighbour. Own that
thou art bound to love them. The world calls them thy inferiors. In what are
they inferior? They are far more thine equals than thine inferiors, for
"God hath made of one blood all people that dwell upon the face of the
earth." It is thy coat which is better than theirs, but thou art by no
means better than they. They are men, and what art thou more than that? Take
heed that thou love thy neighbour even though he be in rags, or sunken in the
depths of poverty.
But, perhaps, you say, "I cannot love my neighbours, because for
all I do they return ingratitude and contempt." So much the more room for
the heroism of love. Wouldst thou be a feather-bed warrior, instead of bearing
the rough fight of love? He who dares the most, shall win the most; and if
rough be thy path of love, tread it boldly, still loving thy neighbours through
thick and thin. Heap coals of fire on their heads, and if they be hard to
please, seek not to please them, but to please thy Master; and remember if they
spurn thy love, thy Master hath not spurned it, and thy deed is as acceptable
to Him as if it had been acceptable to them. Love thy neighbour, for in so
doing thou art following the footsteps of Christ.
