Gospel Matthew 22: 34-40 (The Greatest Commandment)
Brother Aba, isa sa favorite subjects ko ang Math kasama na ang Science at
English.
Brother Ang dali naman nyan! Syempre 613 is greater than 10.
Tama ka.
Shaina
OK, so last Math question na tayo. Which is greater 2 or 613?
Tingnan natin ha. Remember that a scholar of the law asked Jesus, in
a test, na sabihin kung alin ang greatest of the 613 Jewish
commandments.
But instead of falling into the evil plot of the Pharisees, Jesus, instead,
has given us the greatest commandment based on Deuteronomy 6:5
Shaina and combined it with Leviticus 19:18.
You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all
your soul, and with all your mind and that You shall love your
neighbor as yourself.
Shaina Yes.
But let us keep in mind also that Jesus did not mean to abolish the
Jewish law. Instead, He was challenging them to search their hearts
into what their existing laws are intending to accomplish – to follow
the law externally ( by procedures) or to follow it internally ( by heart ).
That is the difference between the “love of the law” that the religious
Brother leaders wanted to promote and the “Law of Love” that Jesus is
bringing to all of God’s people.
Tama.
Love must be the ultimate guide and light on our path towards God
and others.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
Love rejoices with the truth.
Shaina Love bears all things.
Love believes all things.
Love hopes all things.
Love endures all things.
Love never fails.
Brother
Tama ka ate.
God is Love.
Kaya nga His greatest message to each and everyone of us is –
LOVE pa rin.
For God so LOVED the world that He gave His only begotten Son so
that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Lord God,
Amen.
