So Christ’s theological and political enemies come to him with trick questions. Which is the greatest commandment in the law? they ask, ready to make a case for commands not chosen. From 613 commands, Christ chooses 2. The great & first commandment—to love God, wholeheartedly. Because he, creator and lover of the universe & you; dream-giver, dream-granter, is worthy of your love. The second commandment, Christ says, is like the first, love your neighbor as yourself; do unto others what you wish they would do unto you. The entire law and the prophets hang on these two commandments, Jesus says. Jesus models these by waking early to chat with his father and maintaining physical, mental, and spiritual health by hiking to be with God in deserts, rivers, mountains & gardens. He loved people, sharing bread & wine he created by the power of faith, bringing healing through his presence, his words & his wisdom. A great golden triad to guide our lives--love of God, of others & of our own selves.
