Mark: 12:30-31
“You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength. The second is this: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. There is no other commandment greater than these.”

Jesus modeled perfect unconditional love for us. He loved even when He was rejected, persecuted and killed. The ultimate demonstration was forgiving those who killed him while hanging on the cross. This is the kind of love that makes a person want to love such a God back! But let’s face it…most of the time we don’t carry out the two greatest commandments. When was the last time we skipped a major sporting event to do something spiritual? When was the last time we skipped a favorite TV show for something spiritual? When was the last time we chose a spiritual book over a fashion or celebrity magazine? When was the last time we made it a spiritual quest while surfing the web? When was the last time we chose to let go of a grudge…or to give up some free time to do some service? How great is our God who would continue to love us unconditionally!
