"Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?" | Eric Hystad | South Campus

Summary

The sermon discusses Jesus' confrontation with hyper-spiritual Pharisees who challenge him on the greatest commandment. Citing Matthew 22:37-40, paraphrasing Deuteronomy 6 and Leviticus 19, Jesus declares that the two greatest commandments are to love God with all your being and to love your neighbor as yourself, as these two principles form the foundation of the entire law and the prophets. The practical takeaway is that living out these two commandments should shape our daily behavior.
