The Greatest Commandments

 

Today's verse is Mark 12:33

And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices. 

    A Man had challenged Jesus and asked what is the greatest commandment? Jesus not only gave him the greatest commandment, but also the second. Above you see the summation of the two. Please note that neither is found in the very famous ten commandments. For it is upon these two commandments that the whole of the law seeks to clarify. Note as well that when we come to God, we do not leave any part of our being behind, not our emotions, not our physical ability, not volition, and most certainly not our mind or understanding. For have we not looked, and seen that if we Trust God with all of our heart, that understanding will follow? So today, do the work of God, and believe in the One that God has sent, even Jesus Christ, and he will forgive your sin, and make you whole, and in due course, bring you home. Amen.

To God be the Glory
