Faith & Love: A One Year Bible Reading Plan - Part 3نموونە

In this chapter, Jesus begins by showing us that we must recognize Him and the message He brings. His audience at the time did not see this value. In our lives, are we witnessing and seeing this message that Jesus brought?

So, what is the message all about?

We find this answer in the second part of the chapter. Jesus replies to a trick question about whether we must pay taxes. Jesus makes it clear; we belong to a father who loves us. In verse 29, this famous new command sets the stage for everything Jesus came to represent the Father's love for us… All scripture, old and new, is fulfilled in this one command. Love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, might and strength and love your neighbour as yourself.

Jesus shows us that our lives find definition and meaning in our discovery of our Father's love. This will empower you to live loving others. This challenges us to live a life that invites and embraces a loving, caring father that changes us in a way to love people with a new value and love. The more you discover your value, the more you see others in this same light. The chapter concludes with a widow that gave everything for this newfound love.

How are we living a life dedicated to discovering the love of our Heavenly Father?

How does your Heavenly Fathers' love change the way you love?

In your daily walk, how would "love your neighbour" find expression?
