The love of God changes everything.

A lawyer confronts Jesus, hoping to expose errors in his theological interpretation of the law’s mandate to love. In a great reversal, Jesus confronts the lawyer’s narrow understanding of what the law requires. In the kingdom of God, compassion turns our love for ourselves into love for others and turns our enemies into our neighbors.
