Jesus summarizes the law right away and opens the minds of many throughout history with His response as He has been challenged and set up to fail once and for all. The expert in religious law thought he would be witty enough to finally trap Jesus into a corner, but Jesus does something that changes the course of history with man's relationship with God. He shows us the true meaning of the law. Everything we are to do and try to obey has been too much for us to handle ever since Adam and Eve fell to sin in the garden. What Jesus finally does here many years later is shows us what God is like and what He wants from His people. Our love.
Denying yourself and picking up your cross, which we will be going into in just a few short days. The hour has almost come but, before that, what are we called to do? Should we follow the great country music singer, Tim McGraw, and "Live like you were dying"? Ever think what you would do if you knew your days were numbered to just a handful left? Maybe some of us actually have lived through those days with others.
Jesus knew His days were just a few left and what did He do? He walked with people, taught them who had questions, healed the sick, didn't fall into fleeting pleasures but used those last moments to Love God and Love People.
