"The entire law is summed up in a single command: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'" - Galatians 5:14

In September 2019, sixteen-year-old Zac Clark was outside doing yard work with his mother when he heard his neighbor cry for help.

The teen rushed over and found his neighbor pinned underneath a Volkswagen sedan in the driveway.

“I guess the jack broke or slipped and the car fell on top of him from the waist up,” Zac said. “Only thing I could see was his legs and he was struggling.”

Without hesitation, Zac lifted the 3,000-pound car off his neighbor's chest and face.

“He had a couple of cracked ribs and his face was messed up pretty bad, but the doctors told him if I wasn't there, then he'd be dead,” Zac said. “I was thankful that I was put in the opportunity to be able to save someone's life. I thank God for letting me be able to do that.”

Do you love others as Jesus loves you? Today in prayer, seek to love your neighbor for Jesus' glory.

"Love is an act of endless forgiveness" - Peter Ustinov

God's Word: "'The most important one,' answered Jesus, 'is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these.'" - Mark 12:29-31
