How loving God compels us to love others

Matthew 22.34-46

A lawyer asks Jesus which is the greatest of God’s commandments. Jesus, quoting the Old Testament, says: ‘Love God, and love your neighbour as yourself’. Jesus asks a question of his audience: What sort of person might God’s Messiah be?

In Matthew’s account, the final questions that Jesus faces focus on the command to love. Jesus describes no easy or sentimental love, but an overarching love that embraces all. We explore what that means for us today and the challenges it presents in daily life.
