Jesus states the core of God’s law: love God with all you are and have and love your neighbor as yourself. The scribe agrees that Jesus has rightly identified the most important commandments, much more important than sacrifices. It’s easy for us to say with the writer of the letter to the Hebrews that sacrifices aren’t needed anymore, but harder to acknowledge that all our worship, all our community service, all our social action, all our family caregiving is worthless if it is done without love. Our service will be live streamed from Cross of Glory Lutheran Church starting at 8:30 AM. Click on the image above to watch the live stream.

Jesús enuncia el núcleo de la ley de Dios: amar a Dios con todo lo que somos y tenemos, y amar al prójimo como a nosotros mismos. El escriba coincide en que Jesús ha identificado correctamente los mandamientos más importantes, mucho más importantes que los sacrificios. Es fácil para nosotros decir con el escritor de la carta a los Hebreos que los sacrificios ya no son necesarios, pero es más difícil reconocer que todo nuestro culto, todo nuestro servicio comunitario, toda nuestra acción social, todo nuestro cuidado familiar no vale nada si se hace sin amor. Únase a nosotros para nuestro culto que comienza a las 12:00 p. m. en la Iglesia Luterana Atonement (1980 Silver Lake Road New Brighton, MN 55112). ¡Todos son bienvenidos!
