We are to love our neighbors as ourselves – and that standard of comparison, as ourselves , is often taken as an implicit command to love ourselves. On this view, the wording not only permits self-love but commands it; it not only sanctions self-esteem but reinforces its importance. On the face of it, however, self-love in Mark 12 is merely presupposed, not advocated. To read much of the contemporary literature, evangelical and otherwise, on self-esteem is to inhabit a domain a long way removed from the second great commandment.

When serving this dish to my guests, they at first refused to taste, saying
it sounded like an abomination before the Lord. When I insisted, they
changed their minds and now this concoction makes the rounds of the
neighbo(u)rhood:
Cut chicken into eight parts, rub with garlic and sprinkle with pepper.
Marinate for at least 4 hrs (in fridge) in oil and wine. (HINT: Put
chicken, oil and wine in stout plastic bag, squeeze out all the air and
tie. This ensures all exposed sides of chicken will be in contact with the
marinade).
In glass casserole, arrange pieces of chicken, with slivers of bell pepper
between them. Top them up with the sauerkraut (squeezed out of as much
brine as possible), so no chicken is seen from above. Pour the remaining
marinade on top.
Cover and cook in microwave oven at medium power for 30 to 45 mins
(depending on the power rating of your microwave).
Serve with baked potatoes or boiled rice.
If you prefer to cook in the oven, put the casserole on the highest rack.
