About this episode
I recently had my concept of "neighbor" challenged. Does neighbor mean only the people in my neighborhood? The ones we live near? Actually, in a broader sense, it is anyone "living or located near another". That means the folks all around us at work, in the next cubicle. The teacher in the next classroom. The person exercising next to us at the gym. Our neighbors are everywhere and the Lord had a great deal to say about them. Some Hebrew origins of the word, also translate it to mean "fellow man". Matthew 22:37-39 Jesus replied, "'You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.'[a] 38 This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 A second is equally important: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' Today, how will YOU show love to ALL THOSE who you work around all day long?

Welcome to the I work for him power thought with Martha Brayenberg if I work for him. I recently had my concept of neighbor challenged. Does neighbor mean only the people in my neighborhood, the ones I live near? Actually in a broader sense it's anyone living or located near another. That means the folks all around us at work, in the next cubicle, the teacher in the next classroom, the person exercising next to us at the gym. Our neighbors are everywhere and the Lord had a great deal to say about them. Some Hebrew origins of the word also translate it to mean fellow man. Matthew 22, 37 through 39 says, Jesus replied, You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important. Love your neighbor as yourself. Today, how will you show love to all those who you work around all day long?
