The Great Commandments - Introduction

Matthew 12:30-31

30Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.
31The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these."


The two greatest commandments, words of instruction given to us directly from our Master's lips, and yet do we really understand the charge that goes along with these words?

What does it mean to 'love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength'?

What does it mean to 'love your neighbor as yourself'?

I'd like to explore this a little more through a series of posts, more for my benefit, but for yours as well. I'll be learning as I go, and if anyone has any insight they'd like to share along the way, I'd invite your comments. We can learn together about what it is we are being called to do.

Look for future 'The Great Commandment' entries.
