Theme for The Seventh Sunday after Pentecost

God commands us to love our neighbors as much as we love ourselves, but who is equal to the demand of the Law? No one, except our Lord Jesus Christ. At the same time, we follow in Christ's footsteps and love our neighbor by the power of his Word and Sacraments.
