JESUS RULES WITH 2 COMMANDMENTS

Good Morning to everyone:
I would like to look at a few Bible verses from the Gospel of Matthew, 22: 34-40, which reads 34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."
In our last post we looked at the servant job of Jesus our King. This post I want to look at his ruling side of his job. Yes he is still a King and he still wants his people to follow a few rules of the land, so that we can all get along. In the Old Testament God gave the Isrealites 10 commandments that they needed to follow. In today's world ruled by Jesus he wants us to follow only 2 simple commandments. The first one is to Love and Respect God the Father for who he is and what he has done, to save us. The second commandment is to Love our neighbors as our selves, to make sure that our neighbors are ok we need to do anything we can to help them day or night.
What is so simple to live under a servant King that will take care of all our needs, all he asking is to follow these two commandments. My wife and I are very fortunate to live in a neighborhood that we all check up on one another, if we know someone is sick we check up on them with a phone call or a short visit at the front door. If we know a person needs a can or two of green beans, we'll be happy to pass it along. This is the type of caring to Jesus wants us to do for each other, not just today but down the road, where every we live. I have no problems in Loving a God that wants to see us well and protected from all harm, and I also have no problem in passing a few cans of green beans to my neighbors when they need it. Remember on these 2 commandments hangs all the laws.
I do hope you all have a good day taking care of your neighbors.
