Master, which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus said unto him,
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart,
and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like unto it,
Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.
Matthew 22: 36-39
KJV

~ GREATEST COMMANDMENT ~
If Jesus is willing to be our Friend
Then why can we not be a friend to all
The theme of the Bible is the Kingdom of God
But each of us into sin we fall
Jesus died for that sin
His Kingdom is within our reach
God is Love
And it is love He did preach
This is not a gray area
that we can debate
We have to get along
We must not hate
Right there before Jesus
men did stand
He was asked, "Master,
what is the Greatest Command?"
There was no mystery here
It was all about love
The greatest was...
We must love the Lord above
But, there was a second one too
It does not take heavy toiling
or back-breaking labor
Just simply put ......
We must also love thy neighbor
~ God's Blessings To You ~
