20240114 6PMp CD Working to Love our Neighbour
Speaker: Chris Donald.
Work Matters: Work provides Opportunities to Love others.
- Loving others with the benefits we receive from our work. As in Leviticus, the people are commanded to leave some of the fruit and produce for others, for the poor and the stranger, so we can ensure that others also receive from the benefits we receive from our work.
- Loving others where we work, as we work. Not doing harm in our work, but also with the benefits we receive in our work. Who else that we work with, can we benefit through our work. Loving people, praying for people, with whom we work.
- Love our neighbour through the work itself. Examples: plumbing bringing clean water, removing waste. Garbage collection: serving in love to our neighbour. We are blessed through many. And we can bless others, by loving them.
We love others because Jesus first loved us. As with an oasis in the desert, we can pass on to others the love which Jesus has already provided to us.
