There are some people who love school and learning. Others; not so much.
Jesus answered, “The most important [commandment] is, ‘Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ There is no other commandment greater than these.”
Mark 12:29
Yet constant learning is a calling for every Christian. Learning more and more about what God’s says, about what God wants, what God has done, what He will do.
Most of us are familiar with the Greatest two commandments: Love the Lord with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength and love our neighbor as ourself. But many seem to simply stop there.
It’s good to know the two greatest, but they aren’t the only!
God has a lot to say and we have a lot to learn. He gives us all of Scripture to bring us closer to Him; to bring others to Him. If we aren’t constantly learning and growing, we are not fulfilling God’s call and commands.
He tells us to teach, talk about, bind, and write His Words. To do that, we need to learn and do them, too!
We need to be in a constant state of humble learning, gentle teaching, and active living all His Words!
“Send Your Spirit, Lord, and teach us, and help us teach others and live for You; in and through Jesus. Amen.”
