One of the scribes came to Jesus and asked him,
“Which is the first of all the commandments?”
Jesus replied, “The first is this:
Hear, O Israel!
The Lord our God is Lord alone!
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.”
The scribe said to him, “Well said, teacher.
You are right in saying,
He is One and there is no other than he .
And to love him with all your heart,
with all your understanding,
with all your strength,
and to love your neighbor as yourself
is worth more than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”
And when Jesus saw that he answered with understanding,
he said to him,
“You are not far from the Kingdom of God.”
And no one dared to ask him any more questions.

Ang Pinakamahalagang Utos
Marcos 12: 28- 34
Ang isang guro ng kautusan na nakarinig ng kanilang pagtatalo ay dumating. Nabatid niya na mahusay ang pagsagot ni Jesus sa kanila.
Tinanong niya si Jesus: Alin ba ang pangunahin sa lahat ng mga utos?
Sumagot si Jesus sa kaniya: Ang pangunahin sa lahat ng mga utos ay ito: Pakinggan mo Israel. Ang Panginoon mong Diyos ay iisang Panginoon. Ibigin mo ang Panginoon mong Diyos nang buong puso mo, at nang buong kaluluwa mo, at nang buong pag-iisip mo at nang buong lakas mo. Ito ang unang utos. Ang ikalawang utos ay tulad nito ay: Ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa tulad sa iyong sarili. Walang ibang utos na higit na dakila pa sa mga ito.
Sinabi sa kaniya ng guro ng kautusan: Guro, mahusay ang pagkakasabi mo. Naayon sa katotohanan ang sinabi mo na iisa ang Diyos at wala nang iba maliban sa kaniya. Tama ka nang sabihin mo: Ibigin siya nang buong puso, at nang buong pang-unawa, at nang buong kaluluwa at nang buong lakas. At ibigin mo ang iyong kapwa katulad sa iyong sarili. Ito ay higit na mahalaga kaysa lahat ng mga handog na susunugin at mga hain.
Nang makita ni Jesus na sumagot siyang may katalinuhan, sinabi niya ang mga ito sa kaniya: Hindi ka malayo sa paghahari ng Diyos. Mula noon ay wala nang naglakas-loob na magtanong sa kaniya.

There is no greater commandment than the one to love, for it summarizes all of the commandments.Let's review:
And God spoke all these words, saying: “I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
1. You shall have no other gods before me.
2. You shall not make for yourself any carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth; you shall not bow down to them nor serve them. For I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and fourth generations of those who hate me, but showing mercy to thousands, to those who love Me and keep My commandments.
3. You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold him guiltless who takes His name in vain.
4. Remember the Sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days you shall labor and do all your work, but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord your God. In it you shall do no work: you, nor your son, nor your daughter, nor your manservant, nor your maidservant, nor your cattle, nor your stranger who is within your gates. For in six days the Lord made the heavens and the earth, the sea, and all that is in them, and rested the seventh day. Therefore the Lord blessed the Sabbath day and hallowed it.
5. Honor your father and your mother, that your days may be long upon the land which the Lord your God is giving you.
6. You shall not murder.
7. You shall not commit adultery.
8. You shall not steal.
9. You shall not bear false witness against your neighbor.
10. You shall not covet your neighbor’s house; you shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, nor his manservant, nor his maidservant, nor his ox, nor his donkey, nor anything that is your neighbor’s.”
The above commandments need no further explanation. It is very clear but we fail miserably in compliance.
Jesus made it more simple. Love your God and Love your neighbor.
God bless us all more than we can ever imagine.
