Hello everyone,
I’ve said this before but, do you know that Jesus never got any question wrong? Wow, He always had the right answer for every question, even with the best brains came to test Him with questions. There was an instance where scribes came to test Jesus in Matthew 22:37; Mark 12:30 and the scribe asked Him what the first commandment of all was, “Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the LORD our God, the LORD is one. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ This is the first commandment. And the second, like it, is this: ‘You shall love your neighbour as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.””
When I took a look at this, I found out how impossible this was. To love the Lord with all your heart, soul, mind and strength was like to cease to exist, it meant you don’t have any consciousness of yourself even for a second because you’ve given all your being to loving God. Also, to love your neighbour as yourself was to care for your neighbour with the exact care that you care for yourself. It didn’t say love your neighbour close to the way you love yourself, so this was impossible.
Jesus in John 13:34, Jesus modified the second greatest commandment, which says, “A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” This was more impossible because the love Christ has for His disciples could not be fathomed with words or knowledge, neither could be understood.
The truth in all these is that God knew how impossible it was, but also knew how possible it is. Jesus' love showed us how this could be achieved by doing only that which He saw His Father do. The only way for us is to have His spirit in us, in order for this to be achieved. Surrendering completely to the Father, and relying on and trusting in Him is what it means. You can’t do this by yourself except with another spirit which Jesus is offering us. And you cannot love one another as Christ did unless you are that person which is why you need to make Jesus Lord of your life.
May the LORD bless you and keep you, make His face shine upon you. May the LORD be gracious to you and lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace. AMEN.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t. Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
