I heard a pastor teaching on Jewish Law the other day and how Jesus really ticked off the Pharisees. The Pharisees cornered Jesus because they had this plan to humiliate Him. What they could never figure out was that He was really the Messiah so there was no humiliating Him when it came to God. One of them, an expert in Jewish law came to Him with this question: "Which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?" Now I always thought when they talked about laws and commandments they were referring to the BIG 10, which they are. What I didn't realize was that from the BIG 10 came a WHOPPING 613. 613 rules of dos and don'ts. http://www.jewfaq.org/613.htm (<--- Check them all out. This is what the people lived by before Jesus changed it all by the cross. Some still live this way because they don't believe the Messiah has come yet.) Can you believe that! Anyways, Jesus was like, "Love the Lord with all your heart, mind, and soul. This is the first and greatest commandment. A second is equally important: Love you neighbor as yourself. Jesus was like, BAMM! Whats up now?
Thank you Jesus for fulfilling the law by way of the cross!
