When Anakin brought Qui-Gon and company back to his home, they met his mother, Shmi. They share that they are on an important mission to Coruscant.
While Qui-Gon is explaining their situation, Anakin volunteers to help.
He does so without question.
Shmi is more than a bit hesitant.
Anakin replies, “Mom, you say that the biggest problem in this universe is nobody helps each other.”
Jesus tells His disciples in John 13:34-35, “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another.”
The love that Jesus was calling us to was agape love. That is the unconditional love described in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8.
The early believers took Jesus’ commands very seriously. Read Acts 2:45-47, 4:32, and 20:35.
There were not any government programs to take care of the poor, widowed, or orphaned. These programs came into being in the last 100 plus years when the church stopped being the church.
There are so many verses that talk about how we are to care for one another. Read the following verses and write out how you could live one of them out in your own life today.
Deuteronomy 15:11.
Proverbs 19:17.
Isaiah 1:17.
Matthew 25:35-40.
Romans 12:13.
Philippians 2:4.
Hebrews 13:16.
