http://www.gospelines.com "The Greatest Commandment" Tuesday - Matthew 22:34-40 (See Part One & Part Two below) Jesus spent the day dodging the deadly religious and philosophical projectiles hurled by the Pharisees and Sadducees. It was to be his last day to spend time in the Temple, a place he remembered and loved from his childhood, where at age 12 he amazed the local religious leaders with his wisdom and understanding. On this Tuesday, he continued to impress them. "What is the greatest commandment?" the Pharisees asked. Jesus must have looked at the little leather boxes (phylacteries) they wore on their foreheads, which contained the tiny parchments of the Law (Schema). His answer quoted the very words which his adversaries carried with them for all to see. Jesus answered, "Love the Lord your God with all your faculties." Now why would the Father give us a commandment like that? Oh, my dear friend, do not hasten past this too quickly; you will hear the heartbeat of heaven if you but listen! This is not just a commandment for us to obey. It is a plea from your heavenly Father. "LOVE ME," he begs us. The message sent to us is that Jehovah God wants to be loved by us! This One and Only God of all creation calls me out to love Him. I am so humbled by that thought. GospeLines Prayer: Father, forgive me when I am a selfish brat. I DO love you. I love you, O my God, I LOVE you! Amen and amen. O.
