Mark 12:28-34 - The Big Picture

It's kind of getting boring now... I know I'm wrong, but I don't need this many reminders. It's not like I don't know, I just need time.

I guess I just don't love the Lord God with all my passion and prayer and intelligence and energy enough to get over myself. And I'm nowhere near loving others as myself. I feed, clothe, shelter, spoil myself, and I'm not about to do it to everyone. Mother Theresa seems so cool suddenly.

You're almost there, right on the border of God's kingdom.

Imagine a Pharisee being praised like that. If I were him, I'd be wondering this Jesus carpenter from Nazareth can say something so profound, and I've spent my entire life studying theology and yet I can't summarize it that accurately.
