The First and Greatest Commandment

Our 24/7 group has really enjoyed going over the “Study Questions” sent out weekly by email. This week we had a great discussion while going over this weeks 6 questions and comments, but # 4 got the most attention.

4. In this passage (Matthew 22:34-40) Jesus lists off three different areas of life in which we are to love God……..our heart, soul and mind

The original text (Deut 6:5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. NIV) says “strength” instead of “mind”. “Strength” is added to the text in Mark 12:29. We were trying to figure out the differences and importance of the four ways listed. It’s an interesting study. Can’t wait to hear the message Sunday!

What questions provoked your thinking?
