Which Commandment in the Law is the Greatest? - Audio

In today's lectionary Gospel passage, Jesus provides an overarching view of Hebrew Scripture in terms of love of God and love of neighbor. His claim, along with the authority he cites to make this claim, led John Wesley to write in "A Plain Account of Christian Perfection" that "You should be thoroughly aware of this—the heaven of heavens is love. There is nothing higher in religion; there is, in effect, nothing else; if you look for anything but more love, you are looking wide of the mark …" And the challenge for us today is live out that love in a world that calls it into question.
