The Greatest Commandment

The religious leaders, the Pharisees and Sadducees, were looking for ways to tempt Jesus and cause people to question His teachings. As you read in the Bible, their ways were being threatened. They were not willing to accept and believe Jesus. They loved their status. I love the way Jesus handled Himself in those situations!

"But when the Pharisees had heard that he had put the Sadducees to silence, they were gathered together. Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the greatest commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it. Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets."  Matthew 22:34-41

Today do you have the heart like the hearts of the Pharisees or is yours open to loving God with all your heart, soul and mind?
