Day 8: Mark 12‐16
When questioned by the Scribes on which commandment of the law is the greatest, Jesus reduced the entire law to two: love God with everything that you are, and love your neighbor as yourself. Not long after uttering these words, Jesus showed the length He would go to live them out through his passion and death. Upon seeing the way in which he did this, even the Roman centurion cries out, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” Does your life exemplify this dual command enough that others around you recognize it and declare that you too are a child of God, committed to loving God with everything you are, and your neighbor as yourself?
