Text: Mark 12: 28-34
Topic: Love: The summary of the Law
Key verse: The second is Love your neighbour as yourself.There is no commandment greater than these.” Mark 12:31
Jesus summarised the laws into two simple instructions: love God and love others. Jesus did not come to abolish the laws but rather came to fulfill it and demonstrated to us how to do likewise.
Jesus was confronted by one of the teachers of the law with a simple but technical question. Jesus's response to the question was also simple but technical. Love God and love others. The teacher further explained the technicality involved Which is ” There is only one God and no other. It is important to love him with all my heart and all my understanding and all my strength,and to love my neighbour as myself. This is more important than to offer all of the burnt offerings and sacrifices required by the law”
Understanding of the technicalty in love does not save until you repent from your sins, and obedience to the Holy Spirit in you that will make you save. Intellectual knowledge of the word is not enough,it can only bring you close to the Kingdom but not into the kingdom. It takes the help of the Holy spirit and accepting his help that will make one to love God and show love to others.
Prayer: Father let your love take preeminent in my life and help me to show your love to others in Jesus name.
