The Greatest Commandments

Matthew 22:34-40

By Stewart McCarter, January 12, 2020

If we truly love God and our neighbor, everything at church would look different.

(Matthew 22:34-40)

  1. ONE FINAL ATTEMPT
  1. Attempt to trap Jesus
  2. Sadducces failed
  3. Pharisees take a turn
  1. ONE FINAL ANSWER
  1. Moses is the hero in Judaism
  2. Jesus says what they already know
  3. They had made a god out of THEIR understanding and organization of the law
  1. ONE FINAL APPLICATION
  1. Jesus turns it back on them
  2. Self denial to love your neighbor as well
  3. They know it but they are not doing it
  4. Neither are we

What about you?

  1. Evaluate how you love God.
  2. Measure your love of God by how you love your neighbors.
  3. Do one thing to show sacrificial love to a “neighbor.”
