What do you say the most important of Jesus is?

It is difficult to qualify but I really like what He says about the greatest being the servant of all.

[Advent Christian]

Hello all; :wave: Jesus was asked by the Pharisees what the most important commandment was and as recorded in Mathew His reply was one unexpected.

Mathew 27:36 Master, which is the great commandment in the law? 37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 38 This is the first and great commandment. 39 And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. 40 On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.
The final portion of His answer is what was unexpected and it sums up the Christian life teaching in a nut shell.
Note that Jesus did not say we should treat others as we would want others to treat us, but instead He instructed us to love our neighbor as we love ourselves. The very nature of a true Christian is that of love, not only for God but also for our brothers and sisters. However this directive carries a Christian’s reasonability even further in that Christ did not instruct us to love only our family ie brothers and sisters in Christ, but our neighbor. This would include all mankind rather they are Christian or not.
I am full of remorse due to the fact that unfortunately I have noticed over the time my eyes have been open that far too many churches and so called Christians ostracize people because they do not conform to their standards of faith and belief. Anyway I ramble; to me the most important teaching is to love wholly and completely. As always my love to all and May God Bless. :prayer:

Except a man is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God. For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son that whosever believed in Him would have life!
