“And you shall 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: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.” (Mark 12:30-32 ESV)
Do you love God? Really? He commands and demands that we love Him completely. And then He gives us the big test and perhaps the toughest command of all. Love others just like you love yourself. While this is difficult for the imperfect person we each see looking back at us in the mirror, love for others is perfectly reflected in Jesus’ earthly life.
● He taught the confused.
● He fed the hungry.
● He healed the sick.
● He comforted the lonely.
● He defended the vulnerable.
● He forgave sinners.
● He died and rose.
● He raises the dead.
Dearest Lord Jesus, thank You for all that You have done for sinners like me. Please help me to love You by loving others too. Amen.
“See” you in church tomorrow.
