 "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied:

"'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your
mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment.

And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets
hang on these two commandments."

In this parable, Jesus tells the story of a servant who owes a large debt to his master.
Despite pleading for mercy, the servant's debt is forgiven. However, when that same
servant encounters a fellow servant who owes him much less, he refuses to show mercy
and has him thrown into prison. Jesus uses this parable to highlight the importance of
forgiving others and showing mercy to our neighbors.

The Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus (Luke 16:19-31):- Jesus tells the story of a rich
man who ignored a beggar named Lazarus, who was suffering outside his gate. However,
after both men die, Lazarus finds comfort in heaven while the rich man experiences
torment. Jesus uses this parable to emphasize the importance of caring for and showing
compassion towards those in need, highlighting the consequences of neglecting our
neighbors.

where you live, work, study and play.

neighbors. By embodying compassion, kindness, and service, we can create a community
grounded in love and build meaningful connections with those around us.
