Listen "Loving Like God Loves"
Episode Synopsis
Most people familiar with the teachings of Jesus can tell you what he considered to be “the greatest commandment.” They may not know exactly where it is, but somewhere in there, Jesus tells us that “You shall love the Lord,” is the most important thing, and that a close second is “Love your neighbor as yourself.” And as a result, there are a lot of people have developed an idea that serving God and following Jesus involves having some sort of emotional attachment to Jesus.We can look at it like the way we love our parents: “I love my mom and dad, but that doesn’t mean I have to do whatever they say! I’m a grown-up now, and can make my own rules and decisions, and their job as parent is to accept all those decisions, and my job is to love them even when they say things I don’t like or act in ways that I don’t agree with.” Basically love is being able to ignore all our differences and care about each other.That sounds great, and on some level there’s some truth to that. But there’s a lot more to what Jesus is saying there, and sometimes we miss what Jesus is really calling us to do.Do I truly love God with all my heart, mind, soul, and strength?
