The Command

God.

What is your first response or thought to that word? 

A.W. Tozer said, "What comes into our minds when we think about God is the most important thing about us." 

There can be various responses to "God." What was yours? Does it reveal something important about you?

What does God command?

What comes to our mind about God will probably shape what we begin to list about what God expects of those made in His image. Some argue about what should be on such lists. Some reject such lists altogether and find a God who makes demands unreasonable. 

This week we continue on the way with Jesus to the cross of Good Friday and the rise of the King on Easter Sunday. Jesus makes a pretty startling comment about what God actually commands in Mark 12:28-34. I wonder what you think about his Great Command to love?
