Some were
surprised that it is not the wounded man who is the neighbor to the god Samaritan
but that it is the other way around. With this in mind the commandment to love
our enemies is seen in a new light. We all knew of course the commandment to
love the Lord, our God, but did we ever realize what it means that God wants to
be loved by us?
Loving God
looks different for all of us. Maybe it is easier to speak openly about our
thoughts in an unfamiliar environment? I am always amazed how open and friendly
participants communicate at Bible Dialogues.
Mary and
Martha (Luke 10, 38-42), the two sisters, had us thinking and discussing. Most
of us identified with Martha, the one who busies herself taking care of
everyone’s needs but her own. In Berlin at the Bible Dialogue we could be like Mary,
and the good part we chose for ourselves: listening to the Bible and to each
other, we take with us for good.
