O amor ao próximo é um dos princípios mais importantes ensinados por Jesus Cristo, sendo, para muitos, quase sinônimo de sua mensagem. Ao longo de sua vida e ministério, Jesus deu inúmeros exemplos de como devemos tratar os nossos irmãos com compaixão, perdão e amor incondicional. Inspire-se nos ensinamentos de Jesus, afinal, atos de amor ajudam a espalhar a Palavra.
1. Ore pelos seus inimigos
"But I say to you, love your enemies, do good to the one who hates you and vexes you and pray for those who persecute you and oppress you",
A misericórdia salva!
Jesus ensinou que devemos amar não apenas aqueles que nos amam, mas também nossos inimigos ou quem consideramos inimigos, mesmo que sem absoluta certeza.
1. O Bom Samaritano
And Yeshua [God is Salvation] answering said, A certain [man] went down from Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace] to Yericho [Its Moon], and fell among thieves, which stripped him of his clothing, and wounded [him], and departed, leaving [him] half dead.
And by chance there came down a certain priest that way: and when he saw him, he passed by on the other side.
And likewise a Levi (Levite) [Joined to], when he was at the place, came and looked [on him], and passed by on the other side.
But a certain Shomroni [watch-mountain], as he journeyed, came where he was: and when he saw him, he had compassion [on him],
And went to [him], and bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine, and set him on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, and took care of him.
And on the morrow when he departed, he took out two pence, and gave [them] to the host, and said unto him, Take care of him; and whatsoever youi spendest more, when I come again, I will repay youi.
Which now of these three, think youi, was neighbour unto him that fell among the thieves?
And he said, He that showed mercy on him. Then said Yeshua [God is Salvation] unto him, Go, and do youi likewise.
O verdadeiro amor transcende barreiras!
Em Lucas 10:30-37, Jesus conta a parábola do Bom Samaritano. Um homem é assaltado e deixado quase morto. Dois passam por ele sem ajudá-lo, mas um samaritano, considerado inimigo dos judeus, oferece ajuda ao desamparado. Jesus explica que o verdadeiro amor ao próximo transcende barreiras culturais e preconceitos, encorajando-nos a agir com compaixão para com todos.
3. A Mulher Adúltera
And the Torah-teachers (Scribes) and P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst,
They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act.
Now Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what say youi?
This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Yeshua [God is Salvation] stooped down, and with [his] finger wrote on the ground, [as though he heard them not].
So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.
And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground.
And they which heard [it], being convicted by [their own] conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, [even] unto the last: and Yeshua [God is Salvation] was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.
When Yeshua [God is Salvation] had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those youri accusers? has no man condemned youi?
She said, No man, Lord - Kurios. And Yeshua [God is Salvation] said unto her, Neither do I condemn youi: go, and sin no more.
Perdão e compaixão acima de tudo!
Em João 8:3-11, Jesus encontra uma mulher acusada de adultério, prestes a ser apedrejada. Diferente dos demais, Ele não a condena, mas desafia os acusadores, dizendo:
"Aquele que dentre vós está sem pecado seja o primeiro que atire pedra contra ela."
Todos vão embora, e Jesus salva e orienta a mulher, mostrando um exemplo poderoso de perdão e compaixão.
4. O Servo do Centurião
It came to pass when he entered K’far-Nachum [town of comfort] that a captain of hundreds came to him and implored him,
saying: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth], my son lies in my house with the sickness of contraction and he is weak with the illness’.
Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to him: "I will go and heal him"
The captain of hundreds answered and said to him: ‘Adon [Lord - Kurios of the Earth] I am not worthy that you should come under my roof; only make the decision that he might be healed’.
‘I am a sinful man and I have authority under the P’rushim (Pharisees) [separatists] and I have horses and riders and I say to one of them go and he goes, come and he comes, and to my servants do this and they do it’.
Yeshua [God is Salvation] heard and was amazed and said to those who were following him: "Truly I say to you, I have not found a great faith, in Y’sra’el [he who holds onto the heal of God], like this".
"I say to you that many will come from the East and from the West and will rest with Avraham [Exalted Father], Yitz’chak [Laughter] and Ya’akov [He who grabs onto the heal of] in the Kingdom of heaven":
"but the sons of the Kingdom will be cast into the darkness of Gei-Hinnom [hell, valley of evil counsel]; there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth".
Then Yeshua [God is Salvation] said to the captain of hundreds: "Go; as you have believed; it will be done to you". So the little child was healed at that time.
Fé que move montanhas!
Em Mateus 8:5-13, um centurião prova a sua fé, acreditando que Jesus pode curar seu servo apenas com uma palavra. Jesus, impressionado com a fé do centurião, cura o servo.
Este ato de amor e cura mostra que Jesus ajuda a todos, independentemente de origem, posição social ou qualquer outra classificação. Ele é misericordioso sem ver a quem.
5. O Sacrifício na Cruz
Greater love has no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
O maior ato de amor ao próximo!
O maior ato de amor ao próximo foi feito por Cristo na Cruz para que pudéssemos ser salvos. Em João 15:13, Jesus disse:
"Ninguém tem maior amor do que este, de dar alguém a sua vida pelos seus amigos."
Lembre-se sempre de agradecer pelo sacrifício de Jesus, que deu sua vida na Terra por nós, a humanidade.

Deus abençoe!
