Morsel for Meditation
The second great branch of Christian righteousness is closely and inseparably connected with the first branch: "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." That is, you are to embrace others with the most kind-hearted goodwill and the most sincere and gracious affection. With regard to others, your most impassioned desires are to prevent or remove every evil from them and seek for them every possible good. Your neighbors include more than the virtuous, the friendly or those who love you. Your neighbors are also those who do not accept your kindness but rather return it back to you. Every child of Adam is our neighbor—every human being, every soul that God has made. We do not exclude those you have never seen in the flesh or those you do not know by face or name. You are not to exclude those you know to be evil and unthankful or those that continue hatefully to use and persecute you. You will love them as you love yourself. You must love them with a constant desire for their complete happiness and the same tireless care to defend them from whatever might grieve or hurt their souls or bodies.
-John Wesley, On Christian Beliefs: The Standard Sermons in Modern English (Abingdon Press, 2002)
