Matthew 22:37-40
Jesus replied: “’Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”



Reflection

Jesus responded to the question of which commandment is the greatest by summarizing all of God’s commands into two: Love God and love other people.  That is exactly what Jesus’ life teaches each of us.  Jesus loved God and loved other people and that is what we are supposed to do as well.  As we live with Jesus in our lives and allow his love to help us love God and allow his love to be channeled to other people then it will help us to find freedom in Jesus.

How have you been set free to truly love God and to truly love other people?
