Duet 1,2 & Mark 12

"Relationships"

S-Mark 12:31 The second commandment is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. there is no commandment greater than these.

O- One of the scribe asks Jesus (teacher) "what is the most important commandment of all?" Teacher (Jesus) answered with the scripture Mark 12:30 & 31. To love is more important than any burnt offerings or sacrifices.

A-. There is no commandment more important than to "love." The reason is the bible is all about relationships. Our relationship with God, His relationship with us, our relationship with others, our relationship with the trinity, Father, son and holy spirit, to keep unity and peace. Without love we have nothing. That is why to love is the most important . Relationships are a gift from God. He asks us to cherish His gifts.

P- Thank you Lord that you have given us the tools in your word to teach us to love. Help us to love unconditionally, and to forgive quickly. Help us to know hold on to bitterness and offense but rather to love and extend grace and mercy, so that we may free to love. Amen
