The document discusses Jesus' teachings on the greatest commandments from the Bible. It asks questions about empathy, when Jesus displayed empathy, and how to have a better cycle of helping Jesus, others, and oneself. It prompts the reader to identify a current need and how to meet that need.
![Matthew 22:36-40New International Version (NIV)
36 “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the
Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your
heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38
This is the first and greatest commandment. 39 And the
second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’[b] 40 All
the Law and the Prophets hang on these two
commandments.”](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)

Editor's Notes
- 20 years here Counselling Leadership Development Resilience Workshops Jesus had been heckling with the hecklers for a while and it seemed he keeps saying things like – you think that this is important, but actually this is what’s important. That’s what I am going to be saying to you today. Perhaps you thought that x,y,z was really important but perhaps it’s not so much.

- Our role model – does the way Jesus was with people (His BEing) say about empathy.) (Differences in the hero’s of faiths?)
- Our role model – does the way Jesus was with people (His BEing) say about empathy.) (Differences in the hero’s of faiths?) EG’s Woman at the well,(not supposed to, disciples were surprised) Tax collector – hated member of society Prostitutes Jesus Wept Peter and the guard ear cut, God loved the world – not to condemn but to save… In the garden
- What needs was he looking after? (Emotional, Physical, Spiritual?) Who’s needs are most important? Love others as – the same way we would like to be loved. Love others as – while staying connected to our own feelings and needs. Love others as – enabled by having loved out selves. Love others as - acknowledging that we all have needs and need love.
- Sometimes Jesus looks after self. Sometimes he looks after others – even after Laza died? Sometimes he was just with close friends. I have a need to contribute.
- Personally – Empathy Cards? The most practical way I know of showing love and empathy is to be aware of, connect with, and perhaps contribute towards a person’s needs. How do we love others and evoke the love of others if we are strangers to ourselves? “If you are a stranger to yourself you will remain a stranger to others.” It’s incredibly difficult to love somebody who isn’t alive to their own feelings and needs. We can do stuff for them, but it’s always going to be a bit clumsy – not quite knowing if it’s what they want and why it’s important to them.
- Judgements V Empathy. Truth V Grace. It’s about intentionality and timing – not one or the other Distraction V Presence = Give the gift of presence this week.
