The Great Commandment

 

GREATEST COMMANDMENT (HAND MOTIONS) – Seeds Family Worship

 

 Jesus answered, “The most important is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one.  And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’  The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.” – Mark 12:29-31  ESV

Every dimension of who I am is listed above and is under the governance of Jesus’ love. I have to make sure that when I bring myself to be in harmony with Jesus, what I am actually doing is learning to do the things that He said. That is the very process required to bring all of my parts under His governance. Think about it, in redeeming the mind and redeeming my thoughts and emotions are a major part of this process because they are key to how I feel and then how I act. When I think of how I can stay in a self-righteous mode, I believe God is asking me to go beyond that. That is what makes the second Great Commandment important – it asks all my parts to go beyond myself.
