The Greatest Commandment "One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, of all the commandments, which is the most important? The most important one, answered Jesus, is this: 'Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' There is no commandment greater than these."Mark 12:28 - 31
And then Jesus added, "If you love me, you will obey what I command." John 14:15
[size=large]A[/size] pastor was visited by a woman full of hatred toward her husband. Not only did she want to divorce him; she wanted to cause him as much pain as possible. The pastor suggested that she go home and act as if she really loved him. She was to tell him how much he meant to her and to be as kind as she could. After having convinced him of her undying love, she would then inform him about wanting a divorce. That would all but guarantee hurting him as much as possible.
With revenge in her eyes, she did just that, lavishing love on him for a few months as she never did before. Then the pastor called her and asked about her divorce. "No way!" she replied, "I discovered I really do love him." Love is able to change our world, our churches, our families, and our marriages.
