Thursday
Read Mark 12:28-34
28 A teacher of the Law was there
who heard the discussion. He saw that Jesus had given the Sadducees a good
answer, so he came to him with a question: “Which commandment is the most
important of all?”
29 Jesus replied, “The most
important one is this: ‘Listen, Israel! The Lord our God is the only Lord.t
30Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul,
with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ 31The second most
important commandment is this: ‘Love your neighbour as you love yourself.’ There
is no other commandment more important than these two.”
32 The teacher of the Law said to
Jesus, “Well done, Teacher! It is true, as you say, that only the Lord is God
and that there is no other god but he. 33And to love God with all
your heart and with all your mind and with all your strength, and to love your
neighbour as yourself, is more important than to offer animals and other
sacrifices to God.”
34 Jesus noticed how wise his answer
was, and so he told him, “You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”
After this nobody dared to ask Jesus any
more questions.
Think
The most important commandments: Love God.
Love your neighbour. There is no
other commandment more important than these two.
It is as simple as it sounds.
Pray
Give me the wisdom I need to know how to love my neighbour as myself.
