"Greatest Commandment?"

October 9, 2013

“Greatest Commandment?”

Blessings folk!

Today’s reading:

Matthew 22:34-40
Mark 12:28-34
Luke 10:25-28

Jesus had silenced the Sadducess with His Word.

This pleased the Pharisees.

The Pharisees now sent a lawyer with a lawyerly question, “Teacher, what is the great commandment in the Law”?

Jesus answered directly.
Love the Lord your God…
  • with all your heart
  • with all your soul
  • with all your mind
  • with all your strength.

Jesus then added this.

Love your neighbor as yourself.

On these two commandments depend the whole of the Law and the Prophets.

The scribe that asked the question was “not far from the Kingdom of God.”

Where are you?
