+ Read Scripture

Matthew 22:34-40

34 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 "Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" 37 And he said to him, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets."

  3. How do you think the law and prophets hang on these two commands?

  4. What does loving God with all your heart, and all your soul and all your mind look like in real life? What do you do?

  5. What is the practical difference between loving your neighbor as yourself and not loving your neighbor as yourself? How will it affect your choices?
