Trinity 18 2025. The Greatest Commandment: Love Fulfilled in Christ

After Jesus’ triumphal entry, religious leaders test him in the temple, hoping to trap him. Jesus answers by summing up the law: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself.

The sermon explains how the law exposes our sin and drives us to the gospel, showing that Christ alone fulfilled the law by his perfect love and sacrificial death. His work and the Spirit enable and renew our love, giving practical guidance for living out Christian love amid trials and questions.
