Sunday July 23
(Trinity 6)
Bible Reading: Mark 12: 28 - 34
Topic: Summary Of God's Law
The scribe impressed with
how well Jesus handled questions from the religious leaders, asked his own
burning question "which is the first commandment of all?"
In response, Jesus gave
him this summary, the whole law ". . . . love the Lord your God with all
your heart . . . . soul . . .
. mind . . . and .. . . . .. your neighbour as yourself" (vs. 30,
31)
In this conversation, we
notice two important facts about the scribe: he asked an important question
about life from Jesus and received an answer and he recognized that Jesus spoke
the truth. (v 32)
Do you see any truth in
the Word of God?
His Word is a light to our path (Ps. 119: 105)
His Word is a light to our path (Ps. 119: 105)
As with the scribe, Jesus
will provide answers to life issues if you ask Him.
Unlike this scribe, do not
just be close to the Kingdom, make sure you belong inside it by submitting to
Jesus and making Him Lord of your life; because one who is not inside is still
outside no matter how close s/he may be.
Once we are fully in, we
have His Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and enable us to live out that
truth day by day
Prayer
Lord, give me grace to
believe Your Word and obey it so as not to miss Your Kingdom, Amen.
Memory Verse Mark. 12: 32b
". . . . . . .for
there is One God and there is none other but He."
