This is the original text of: The First Commandment, by Junchol Lee
Description:
In Mark 12, Jesus teaches us 'what the first commandment is.' This is the first commandment, not as in the order of coming in numbers, but as in the priority. And, this is not an advice or recommendation, but a commandment. Following an advice or recommendation can be optional, but following a commandment is not. What Jesus commands us to do as the first priority of our lives on earth is "to love the Lord God, the Creator." Yet, Jesus leaves it up to us to figure our hows and whats on living this life of loving the Creator. So, do you know your hows and whats?
