One day Jesus was teaching in the temple courts. One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" "The most important one," answered Jesus, "is this: 'Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these" Mark 12:28-31. In this statement Jesus not only silenced His critics but gave us the blueprint to living a Godly life. It's not complicated. Loving God with all of our being and loving our neighbor as ourselves pleases our Heavenly Father and brings glory to His name. But not only that, it is our love for one another that should define who we are. Jesus also said, "By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." John 13:35. Telling someone you are a Christian shouldn't take them by surprise; it should only confirm what they have already seen evidence of. Remember, love is not just a word, it is action. Our love is put on display everyday by what we say and how we treat those around us. What are people seeing in you?
