To one another?=WHERE is our God=IN THESE CHALLENGING TIMES?=”They will Do=

Such things=Because they have NOT KNOWN=The Father  or me”                            John 16:3

There you have=JESUS’ DIRECT ANSWER to us=”THEY DO NOT KNOW ME”=For if

Above all else=and those who LOVE THEIR NEIGHBOR=as themselves=They are GOD FOLLOWERS!=They are JESUS’ and GOD’S HELPERS=”The Lord God said’=’It is not good=

Mortals do to me?’”                                                                                                                                Hebrews 13:6
