What does it mean to love others as ourselves?
At the heart of Jesus' call to us is a call to love others. But this can be so difficult. For one thing,
others are not always very lovable; for another, loving others sometimes gets in the way of our
own self-interests. But if we want to follow Jesus, love needs to be our lifestyle, and the way we
treat others really does matter. It's not all sacrifice and pain, though. To be in loving relationship
with others is to be truly alive - and it's the source of our greatest joy. This study will help you
love others the way Jesus desires.
