6 - The Great Commandment, Mark 12:28-34

Published: Feb. 17, 2019, 10 a.m.

A well-intentioned scribe approaches Jesus and asks, \u201cWhich commandment is the most important of all?\u201d (Mark 12:28). Jesus points to our love for God and love for others as being the greatest commandments for us to follow. When the scribe agrees, Jesus tells him that he is, \u201cnot far from the kingdom of God\u201d (Mark 12:34). As followers of Christ, we recognize we are commanded to love well, and seek his help when we find it difficult to do so.
