St Matthew
22: 34-40
34 Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees
got together. 35 One of them, an expert in the law, tested him
with this question: 36 “Teacher, which is the greatest
commandment in the Law?”
37 Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart
and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the
first and greatest commandment. 39 And the second is like it: ‘Love
your neighbor as yourself. 40 All the Law and the Prophets hang
on these two commandments.”
Why were the
Sadducees and Pharisees trying to test Jesus?
Who tests our beliefs and faith today?
How should we respond to those who test us?
Prayer: Lord God,
we love You with all our hearts and all our souls and all our
minds. Kindle within us the burning
desire to love our neighbour. Kindle
within us the burning desire to love ourselves. This we ask in Jesus’ name. Amen.
