Hebrews 13:1
Keep on loving each other as brothers.
My vague thoughts on today's blog entry never solidified into anything coherant. So I flipped through my Bible looking for inspiration, but nothing jumped out in the Old Testament.
I tend to prefer the Old Testament to the New. The New Testament seems to be mostly instructions and corrections. The Old Testament is full of stories. They say that one can learn almost everything about human emotions and behaviors from the old Greek playwrights, but honestly, Sophokles has nothing on the Old Testament.
But finding no inspiration there, I thumbed over to Hebrews and found this verse. And it just seems to sum everything up in a few words. Love each other as brothers. That means care about each other, be kind to each other, and also point out wrong thinking and behaviors, but in a loving way.
Yes, that is a good thought for the day, and little--no, nothing needs to be added to that.
