Lawyer and Jesus

When a lawyer came to Jesus, asking about the greatest commandment, he himself have had studied the Torah, he was a lawyer, who should know the whole religious Law perfectly.
He must have been digging and diving into the writings for years, trying to figure out, what is God's will, what God wants, why so many rituals, rules, offerings, sacrifices, demands...


'So what would Jesus answer to this?' the lawyer definitely thought.


Jesus' response was short - LOVE God and LOVE People. That's the Law and the Prophets.


Oh no! That's it? So simply???!!
But takes eternity to learn! The one thing what God desires from us - not our long prayers, big churches, happy faces, coolest cars; one thing - LOVE!


If you are wondering, what this Christianity is all about? How many rules should I keep? What should I answer to the question - How're you doing, are you happy?


Remember, LOVE God with all your heart, soul and mind, and strength, and LOVE people. And His Word and His Spirit will lead you to peace and eternal life!
