A Few Notes

This is our family “Old House” in Dry Creek. I visit it weekly to get my “Dry Creek Fix” of solitude and digging in the dirt.

A Few Notes

In Mark 12, Jesus boils it down to two things:

Love God.

Love Others.

Enough said.

We often try to make God and Religion difficult, but there, in two short statements, Jesus sums it up:

Mark 12:28 And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that He had answered them well, asked Him, “Which is the first commandment of all?”

²⁹And Jesus answered him, “The first of all the commandments is: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord.

³⁰And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength;’ this is the first commandment.

³¹And the second is like, namely this: ‘Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
