You are sitting down at school having a great day when out of nowhere your teacher tells the class there will be a surprise test. You had no idea the test was coming. You haven’t studied. You read the first question and you feel tricked. This is not a fun feeling. Today in our bible story the Pharisees were trying to ask Jesus a question that would trick Him. Jesus was not tricked at all though, He is fully God and perfect.
The Pharisees asked Jesus what the most important law to follow was. They thought they had Jesus’ right where they wanted Him, but Jesus said something they never expected. Jesus told them that the most important thing is to love God with all your heart, and with all your soul. Love him with all your mind. Then he told them the second most important law to follow is to love your neighbor as you love yourself.
How can you love God today? How can you love the people you see today?
Prayer: God, thank You for being God. Thank You for being perfect and always knowing what to say. God, help me love You and love people. Amen.
