Love Him with all your heart, all your soul, all your strength, and all your mind.’ Also, ‘You must love your neighbour as you love yourself.’ <br/>So he asked Jesus, ‘Who is my neighbour?’ <br/>To answer this question, Jesus said, ‘A Jewish man was going down the road from Jerusalem to Jericho. Some robbers attacked him. They tore off his clothes and beat him. Then they left him lying there, almost dead.’ – Slide 1

If you spend more money on him, I will pay it back to you when I come again.”’ <br/>Then Jesus said, ‘Which one of these three men do you think was a neighbour to the man who was at-tacked by the robbers?’ <br/>The teacher of the law answered, ‘The one who helped him.’ <br/>Jesus said to him, ‘Then go and do the same thing he did!’ – Slide 6
