Monday, March 31st 2008 – Matthew 22:34-40

March 31, 2008

Read God’s word and think about our main point—are you doing what God has asked of you?

Matthew 22:34-40 (NIV from Bible Gateway.com)
The Greatest Commandment

34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: 36“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”

37Jesus replied: ” ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’[a] 38This is the first and greatest commandment. 39And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’[b] 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”
