One teacher of the law came to Jesus and asked him. "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" Jesus answered, "The most important one 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.'"

Our life must reflect our love for God. We should love God with all our soul, mind and strength. That is how God made us and wants us to be.

Jesus asked, "Why do the teachers of the law say that the Messiah is the son of David? David himself, speaking by the Holy Spirit, declared: ‘The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies under your feet."'" "The Lord said to my Lord" means that God said this to Jesus. David calls Jesus as his Lord. Jesus is a physical descendant of David and he is also the promised Savior, God himself who came through the line of David as God promised.

Jesus is God himself. He is not a mere human, but God himself who came down to earth. We should revere and worship Jesus because he is God.


Application: Lord, help us to accept Jesus as our God, the true king.
One Word: Love Jesus with all your heart, soul and mind.
