The question asked was about the greatest.
If you asked me who is the greatest footballer at the moment and I said Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo, you would inform me that I haven’t answered the question. Which is the greatest. If you asked me about the greatest boxer of all time and I said Muhammad Ali and Sugar Ray Leonard, you would inform me that I haven’t answered the question. Which is the greatest.
Jesus was asked a question about the greatest and answered in a way that appears to be like the Ali/Ronaldo Messi/Leonard response. What was He on about?
Therein lies the challenge and in case the thought that we can just love family, but not anyone outside of the family, there’s even a call to love our enemies. There really is no loophole for those who are out of our love.
How do we work that out, though? God did not give this instruction without support, just as He didn’t give the instruction to love Him without support.
What support would that be? Well …
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
