We need to focus on loving our neighbors... and helping society to do the same by setting a Christlike example.

A Christlike example=obedience to the will of God.

God commands us to love Him with all our being... and to love others as ourselves.

I find it interesting that Jesus confronts the Pharisees and religionists with very strong language (to their faces)... but speaks conversationally, and with respect, to a woman who had had five husbands and was currently shacking up with a man who wasn't her husband. He revealed His messianic identity to her... and used her witness to reach her community.

Most today would have praised the Pharisees on their "righteousness" and condemned the "shack up honey".

He also says if you love him you'll follow his commandments. Or are we picking and choosing which part of love best fits in with the conversation cause I'm lost.
