Love God. Love People.

I read a study recently that lifted the lid on what worship involves. It said - To be a worshiper of God and lover of God is the greatest commandment of God—Deut. 6:5, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart andwith all your soul and with all your might.” Jesus picked up on this when he was asked, “What is the greatest commandment?” He quotes the Shema.
Nothing new here, nothing controversial or revolutionary. But then Jesus does the unexpected, he attaches another command to it, this one from Leviticus 19:18: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” And this is the genius of Jesus—heshows us that loving God, worshipping God, is intricately connected to loving people. Love God, Love People. Jesus was saying “If you love me, then love people.”
