A scribe, a Jewish teacher, asks Jesus about the most important of Moses’ commandments. Jesus gives the ‘correct’ answer from the perspective of Jewish Scripture, but also offers an addition, giving a clear insight into what lies at the heart of his spiritual mission. The scribe takes Jesus’ answer to mean that love for God and neighbour is more important than Temple worship, and Jesus commends him for his wisdom.

This week we explore our commitment to love God, ourselves and others.
