But Enought About Me...What Do You Think Of Me? (Part 3)

Check out Matthew 22:35-39.  How is "Love your neighbor as yourself" like the first and greatest commandment?  It's signigicant that when asked which was the greatest commandment, Jesus didn't stop at just one commandment but brought another and forever intertwined the two.  You can't have one without the other, no matter what you think or claim.  If you love God, let me see your love for people.  If you are someone who loves people, let me see your love for God!  You can't truly love one without loving the other.  To break the hold of selfishness in your life, you have got to love your neighbor.

   Jesus went on to say that all the Law hang on these two commandments.  To love like this is a tall order, but with Jesus in your heart and a spirti filled with God's power to help us along, we can do it.
