The Greatest Commandment

Hello to Everyone:

I would like to look at Matthew 22:37-40, which reads - 37 Jesus said to him, “‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.’ 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ 40 On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.”  In the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been looking at why and how we are to follow Jesus on a daily basis.  In today's post I would like to add another reason why we should follow Jesus's teaching.  The very first commandment is that we should Love God the Father with all your heart, soul, and mind.  In anything that we do our say should be to Love God for who he is and what he has done for us, by following Jesus's teaching we will show our love for God in that special way of becoming like his son Jesus.
    The second commandment is as important as the first.  We are to love ourselves and to love our neighbor as we love ourselves.  If we love our neighbor we will make sure that are neighbors are safe and secury.  If our neighbor asks for a bit to eat we feed him if he needs a ride to the hospital we make sure he gets there.  Anything that we can do to help our neighbor to show him how mush we care for him is the theme of this second commandment.  But I do think that when we our helping our neighbor out physical we need to help him out spiritual also, we need to share how a good God has helped us out in our walk with Jesus, and then let the Holy Spirit to work on the neighbor the rest of the time.  When we share God to our neighbor we are showing how we care for his spirit and soul.
    Well until later have a good day.
