1 | Does Mt. 22:39 assume self-love? | Matt 22:39 | Reformer Joe | 51244 | ||
No, it is assumed that you already love yourself. Loving ourselves is not something we need to learn to do. If you look at the parallel passage in Luke, this story is followed by the parable of the Good Samaritan, which is a striking illustration of how we are to love others as ourselves. Just as we seek after our own survival and well-being, we should also look after the interests of others. Christ, of course, provided the supreme example of this (Philippians 2:3-11). --Joe! |

That's a very good point. Nothing like the good use of context to clarify a passage :-) Ken |
