…
A lawyer asked Jesus a question, testing Him, “Teacher, which is the great
commandment in the Law?”
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.” This is the greatest and foremost
commandment. And the second is like it: “You
shall love your neighbor as yourself.”
Matthew
22:35-39
Jesus
did not recite a hundred laws or even ten laws.
Jesus gave two commandments. The
first, was regarding man’s relationship with God. God loves us, therefore we love God.
The
second was regarding man’s relationship with man. We are to love one another like we love
ourselves. That is, we are to treat
others in a manner that reflects love and respect.
When
we love God, the love is bound to spill over onto those who surround us. Let us let this love show as we approach the
Christmas celebration.
