Scripture and a Snapshot - The Most Important Commandment



One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?"

"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."

"Well said, teacher," the man replied. "You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices."

~Mark 12:28-32~

  1. "They didn't learn the meaning of agape from looking it up in a Greek dictionary. Rather they look at the teachings of Jesus, at the story of His life." May we do likewise and come to love Jesus and others more deeply. Happy New Year!

  2. These are good words to take with us into Sunday worship this morning. And may we take agape with us into the Body of Christ gathered.
