Rule of Love

Exodus 20:1-2; Matthew 22:34-40
Rev. Joel St. Clair

God gives Israel the law to show them what it looks like to be a part of His covenant community. These rules frame up what it means to love God well. As the religious leaders debated about what the most important law is, Jesus sums it up by loving God and loving our neighbor. We obey God through our love for him and for one another.
