UNDAILY Episode 80
One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?” “The most important one,” answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no commandment greater than these.” “Well said, teacher,” the man replied. “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him. To love him with all your heart, with all your understanding and with all your strength, and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.” When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
MARK 12, 28-34 (NIV)
How often do we find ourselves at the crossroads of modernity, where directions suggested by global moral navigations often tempt us to wander through the byways of relativism and emptiness? In these labyrinths, it's easy to lose direction, forgetting the fundamental values that should guide us, as Christians. The media bombard us with information about what we should possess, how we should look, and above all – how we should love. But what does the heart beating in rhythm with God's commandments respond to all this?
