Will we help others in the same way that Jesus did? Will we help those who need it simply because we follow Jesus and because they need it with no strings attached?

"[Jesus continued his teaching on our interactions with others:] "Love your enemies! Do good to them. Lend to them without expecting to be repaid. Then..."

"[Jesus continued his teaching on our interactions with others:] "If you love only those who love you, why should you get credit for that? Even sinners..."

"[Jesus continued his teaching on our interactions with others, commanding,] "You must be compassionate, just as your Father is compassionate.""
