This Week's Gospel Reading
07/12/26
“Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar. Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation. O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not! Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the L-rd.”
Book of Mattiyahu/Matthew 23:34-39 “LET US ADVANCE HIS LOVE”
In layman talk, the question “Which commandment in the law is the greatest?” is often offered. We know this is most often posed by a scholar of the law. While not actually interested in gaining new knowledge, the question is posed to only to test boundaries of Faithful. Just as Ha’Mashiach (our Messiah) had obligingly responded with two answers… firstly, to love Elohim with your total being and secondly, love your neighbor as yourself. Yehoshua mentions further that the whole law and the prophets completely depend on these two commandments. How may we love HaShem with all our heart, with all our soul, and with all our mind? We can’t offer what it is we do not have.
We can’t love HaShem without first knowing Him and are settled in the comfort that He loved us first. “There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love. We love him, because he first loved us”. - (Yochanan I/1 John 4:18-19). Loving Elohim with all our heart means to make Him our number one desire and priority. Y’shua proclaimed, “O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.”- {Book of Mattiyahu/Matthew 12:34} Thusly, if our heart is full of love for Elohim, then everything that we say must be godly. Out of the fullness of our heart must come words of praises and songs of worship and gratitude. And so shall we be seen.
How is love before Elohim expressed? To Love HaShem with all our soul means our “breath”(just as the Holy Spirit is the breath of G-d) and the fullness of our innermost being must at all times be directed towards Elohim. This means every second of our life must be dedicated to Elohim and Elohim alone. The core of our very existence must be in accordance with the will of Elohim. Loving HaShem with all our mind includes all our physical strength as well as mental faculties are to be seen in the light of the glorification of Elohim. As we are reminded through our great Ha’Mashiach’s (our Messiah) words “And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment” – {Book of Marcos/Mark 12:30}. In this is declared every thought and action must give honor before Elohim. Loving Elohim therefore means to serve Him alone and to know that in all we think and do Him must be a reflection of Elohim’s true glory.
In our L-rd’s honor we comprehend loving your neighbor as you love yourself means to selflessly serve others, but without neglecting ourselves. Let us always remember that we can’t give to others what we don’t have. We can’t love others if we are without the capability of loving ourselves. To be sure, people who hurt others are those who deep within are hurting and lack self-love. Humanity is all one family and in that, we belong to one another; hurting others is to deepen the hurt within yourself. Love is not merely an emotion. It is a demonstrable action. Love is shown by serving Elohim and others with our time, talent, treasure and complete fullness of heart. In summation, the evidence of love is in service. Love is a universal and eternal value. In the absence of love, we will all wither into non-existance. In the words of apostle Saul (Paul), “Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing.”- {Book of Qorinti’im/1 Corinthian 13:1-2}
Let us move forward today, and in each day, in the perfect love of our L-rd. May our hearts and minds be open to the blessings of His perfect love and let us be seen as the beacon reflection of that love. Go forward in His peace and receive His blessings,
Pastor Mark
