The great commandment by Jesus Christ |
|
|
|
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. Jesus Christ
David Gurteen's comments: If like me you are not particularly religious try re-reading this commandment replacing the phrase "the Lord thy God" with the word "life" or the word "universe". The commandment then makes perfect sense. Funny as a child I learnt this commandment by heart but remember it slightly differently: "Love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind and with all thy understanding." Is there another version or did I add "understanding" in my child mind? Either way this is how I paraphrase it these days "Love life with all thy understanding."
