For Tuesday, March 30, 2021
From Mark 12:30-31 NLT, Jesus speaking: “You must love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul, all your mind, and all your strength, and love your neighbor as yourself.”
We’re in “Holy Week,” or “Passion Week,” days leading up to Good Friday, the Crucifixion, and ultimately Jesus rising from the dead. He wanted to clarify some theological points before he went to the cross.
Our Bible nowadays is a big book with over a thousand pages. In Jesus’ day, it was individual scrolls; valuable, but kind of disorganized. A religious teacher asked Jesus to clarify the most important commandment, and Jesus identified the top two: Love God and Love your neighbor.
Loving God should be how we live our lives, and loving others should be how we live out our lives.
Jesus’ default mode was ‘compassion,’ and that’s Good News!
Blessings and safety today!
