In the passages prior to this one, Jesus has been disputing with religious experts. Then another expert tosses Jesus a softball, “What is the greatest commandment?” Every Jewish person from childhood has learned the response to that question, the Shema; and Jesus gives that answer. He also adds a second part– to love your neighbor. How have you found these two commandments to be connected in your life of faith? How does following one help you to follow the other? What have you learned about love in your life?
Coming together in faith, moving forward in love.
In this eight-week series we consider what unites us as people of faith and how that is formed by what Jesus taught and how he lived.
