the greatest commandment(s)

Matthew 22:34-40


Asked by one of the scholars of the Pharisees what the greatest commandment is, Jesus summarized the law with the call to love God and to love neighbor. This is the same “Summary of the Law” that appears in our worship service most weeks. What is Jesus getting at in this?

the lamentations of jesus

Jesus here raises a lament over the Pharisees and pronounces judgment over them. How are we to read these laments today? Are we able to see our own failures in the light of theirs?
