Matthew 22:37-39
“You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”

The Ten Commandments are a good foundation…a good set of rules to set a structure for our lives. We all need to know black and white rules to get us started as children. But Jesus takes it to another level. When asked what the greatest commandment is…Jesus says it’s really not about rules…but about love. The Trinity is a constant flow of love…giving and receiving, giving and receiving…without ulterior motive. It sounds simple…but it’s profoundly difficult: Love God with all your heart, soul and mind…AND love your neighbor (everyone!) as yourself (that means YOU!). While only God can do this perfectly…we are called to try our best. This is the path to discovering your true self. Jesus is our finest teacher.
