After the Pharisees saw Jesus successfully well, really
embarrassed to Sadducees concerning the resurrection,
they weren't finished. You know, what's interesting is
the Pharisees and the Sadducees did not get along the Pharisees.
Didn't believed in the resurrection while the Sadducees
did not and there was a division or a sect among them, but on
this occasion as they come to challenge Jesus.
They team up. And they joined forces and
Jesus. Now embarrasses, their question
about the resurrection to the Sadducees.
So the Pharisees send somebody else.
They sent a scribe, scribes were copyists of the law and
therefore, they knew the very minute details of it.
In fact, they had a reputation too many considered scribes to
be authorities in the Torah, or the pentateuch, or the first
five books of the law or as the Sadducees referred to it.
Those books of Moses and we're talking about Matthew combat,
Genesis Exodus Leviticus Numbers and Deuteronomy they were
considered to be X experts. But in Matthew's account in
Matthew chapter 22, the Bible says that this man was a lawyer.
I read a number of Scholars that said that he was perhaps called
a lawyer because he was well known for his interpretations of
the law JW McGarvey said this. Is he sent a man?
Like this would be suitable to ask the question because this
would be a man that was qualified to judge the answer.
Now, I don't know what you think about when you think about
lawyers, but lawyers in the days of Israel were not the same kind
of lawyers and attorneys that we have today.
Living under the law of Moses in United, both civil and religious
matters. In fact Israel is a Theocratic
state or We put a theocracy what in the world is that just a big
fancy word for meeting this that priest would rule in the name of
God. So what you have is you have
civil and religious put together in Israel and that would be the
case in this Theocratic state with the exception of when Rome
would intervene with its laws. And so really, we have a
combination of both secular and religious Affairs and it was
Guided by God's word now, religion and politics.
Therefore were one. So I like what brought us says
about this man picture this man, he was a scribe, a copy of the
law. Not just some run-of-the-mill
guy though. This guy was considered an
expert called him, a lawyer brought a said this.
It might be appropriate to view this man.
That approaches Jesus as half lawyer, and half the illusion.
Now, I have to say before we go any further.
The questions that are asked of Jesus.
We're questions that we're trying to get the people to turn
on Jesus. You know, the Pharisees hated
Jesus. You know, there were things
about Jesus, they absolutely hated Jesus, the prince of
peace, bringing salvation to the world.
In the last three years of his life.
There were two things that they absolutely hated about Jesus.
Number one is because he said, I am the Son of God.
That's number one, number two, because of the way he dealt with
the Sabbath. So the Pharisees and all of the
religious leaders, or juice plural, they hated Jesus.
So the questions were all About eight.
But then the Scribe comes and it seems as though the questions
are not quite so difficult or the questions are not quite so
harsh. It almost seems like he is
coming with a friendly tone of it.
Now to appreciate the question this man comes and he says
teacher which is the greatest commandment in the law.
Now I think it's important to remember a couple things about
this. Little bit of History here to
understand Judaism in the Lord's Day.
Among the Jews that were rabbis. And rabbis, by the way, a rabbi
was simply a scholar or a teacher.
In fact, there were times when they called Jesus Rabbi member
those passages. They said Rabbi tell us this,
you know why? They were calling him a
scholarly teacher. Well, rabbis would get together
under the law of Moses and they would discuss and they would
debate. What is the greatest commandment
of all? In other words let's come up
with some kind of hierarchy. What the most important things
of God are all the way down to the least and important things
and they would do that. Here's a question though right
here teacher, which is the great commandment, what they would do
is rabbis devoted themselves as one scholar said, get this to
hair-splitting legalism, And debating over.
What was the greatest? Let's be said this.
Some think that each particular law is to be judged as to the
severity of the penalty attached.
For example, for example, the Sabbath, you know, it's very
interesting about the Sabbath We're discussing this in a
private Bible study. Just the other day, we're
talking about the Sabbath and Jesus the way Jesus handled the
Sabbath. You know what Jesus did about
the Sabbath. He did anything, he wanted to do
with his Seth, you know why? Because he was Lord of the
Sabbath. Jesus said I Am Lord even of the
Sabbath. He said, I'm greater than the
Sabbath. So Jesus did whatever he wanted
on the Sabbath, but some of the Jews thought.
Wait a minute, their greatest Commandments are the Sabbath
because the severity of the penalty of not keeping it.
And they were be discussions about that.
Still others though would say this circumcision was greater
fasting tithing or even ceremonial Washings.
They were more important now. I love what Jesus does in
Matthew chapter 23. In Matthew chapter 23, Jesus is
going to address the debate and he's going to show that all of
God's laws are important. Especially those dealing with
mercy and Justice. Look at this passage here.
Matthew 23 and 23, he says to them woe to you scribes and
Pharisees and he calls them Hypocrites.
He said for you pay tithes of MIT and and, and anise, and
cumin. And have neglected, the
weightier Matters of the law. What are the weightier matters
of the law? Jesus said, you neglected
Justice, you neglected mercy and you neglected Faith.
Now he wasn't saying you should have just done those and only
those. He said, you should have done it
all. In fact, you have neglected, the
weightier matters, what you should have done, is you've
should have taken heed, the Justice, mercy and faith.
Without leaving the others undone.
So in the great debate among rabbis under the great debate of
what was the most important at all, that Jesus told them in
Matthew 23, it's all important. All of it is, you should have
kept it all Now. Is there a command that pleases
God? More than others.
Is there such a command you know really I don't think we can
answer that question with a yes or no.
I think it really has to do with motive.
In other words, the motive of an individual asking the question
determines, whether it is a legitimate question or not.
Consider the following. If a person is attempting to
limit obedience based upon a hierarchy.
In other words, what is the minimum that's required of me?
And I'll just do them what's really required and nothing
else. There's a problem in your
spiritual life. You know what that's called.
It's called The God in the Box syndrome.
In other words, it's called, what is required.
What do I really have to do? You know, when somebody actually
says those words, what do I have to do?
Even the mindset is not right. Even the mindset, if a person
wants to ask what is required to do the bare minimum, there's
something wrong with his spiritual life, so it does come
down to motive. However, if a person asks a
question, this question over, what's required for the purpose
of Understanding God's overall will so that they can serve him
better. Then the question is legitimate.
It is profitable and it is pure. All right.
Let's go back to the law of Moses.
Let's go back to the days of the scribes.
The scribes, by the way have come up with 613 separate laws
of the 613. 248 were positive and 365 representing every day
of the year. 365 were - all kinds of stuff.
And by the way, under Jewish rabbinic tradition, under the
codification of rabbinic tradition, there were far more
things, they came up with and God ever said, They came up with
all manner of things. In fact, you know when the Bible
talks about on the Sabbath you couldn't work on the Sabbath.
Couldn't do any servile work on the Sabbath?
You know what they did. The Jews came up with 39 other
things that you couldn't do specifically on the Sabbath
under the codification of rabbinic tradition.
And one of which is you couldn't carry your bed and that's why
Jesus when he healed that man. He took a shot right at their
rabbinic tradition and he said, take up thy bed and walk.
All the And all manner of loss. Separate logs, all kinds of
things. John MacArthur said this.
He said the 613 laws were because interesting.
There are 613 separate individual letters in the Hebrew
text in the decalogue, or the ten commandments.
So, they came up with 613 specific laws.
Let's go to Mark's account. Let's go to Mark's account and
chapter 12 and verse 29. Here Jesus is going to quote
something that's found in Deuteronomy chapter 6 and Verses
4 and 5, you know, the Lord was just so brilliant.
This was a great confession of their faith.
In fact, what I'm going to show you was quoted by Jews every
morning and every evening. And even today, I read this last
week, Pious Jews even today. What Jesus quoted from
Deuteronomy 6 4, & 5. They cite them self every day in
the morning and also in the evening even Pious Jews today.
Jesus going to answer the question but he's going also,
preached, the sermon here and here it goes.
He said this, he said hear o Israel, the Lord Our God.
The Lord is one. And by the way, this is called
this confession is called the Shema and what the Jews would do
is they would cite these words every morning and every evening
it is called the Shema. Because it because of the word
here, another words in Hebrew the Shema because it says hero.
Oh Israel. Very important words to the
Jews. Now it was recited, you know, if
they believed, they believed that if a Jew would recite the
Shema twice a day. It would be passport.
It was their literal passport into Paradise where Abraham's
bosom is described in, Luke 16. In other words, they thought
listen, this is our passport, they recited the twice a day.
Now, there's more. this Shima here in this passage and
Deuteronomy was one of four passages that were copied and
they were put on small pieces of parchment and placed in
phylacteries, Now you've heard you've heard us.
Talk about phylacteries know when Jesus was criticizing them
and condemning them. He said you broaden your
phylacteries and the purpose was to be seen of men.
What they would do is is really interesting.
I think they would take Parks mix a little parchments and they
would write passages of scripture for different passages
that was one. You know what they would do?
The men would take the parchments and a put it in a
Factory, a phylacteries a pouch, John MacArthur said it's like a
little box and you know what they would do, they would bind
the Box on the left arm, the men would at the time of prayer and
you know, what else they would do?
They bind it on the forehead, they walk around like a bunch of
box heads with it on their forehead.
And I want you to get this picture, please.
Jesus is speaking to Pharisees that.
No doubt stood before him with the boxes on their head.
They miss the whole point. Ever wonder why they did that?
You ever wonder why they did that?
Why did they bind those? Phylacteries, well, they did it
because of their literal interpretation of Deuteronomy
chapter 11 and verse 18, in Deuteronomy, 11 and 18.
The Bible says, therefore you shall lay up these words of mine
in your heart and in your soul and what and bind them as a sign
on your hand. Left arm time prayer for the man
and they shall I'll be as frontlets frontlets between your
eyes, put it on the forehead. You know, what that really
means? That really means what it means
to us, too. And the Bible talks about in the
Old Testament about raising, your children, talks about doing
this, talk about binding, the word of God on their foreheads
as frontlets between their eyes or before their eyes.
You know what that means? That is very simple.
It simply means when you bind it on your hand, it is a symbolic
gesture. Not literally what you're saying
is what the word of God is saying is everything you do with
your hands, your deed, your actions Have to be with
scriptures in mind. and everything that you see you view
through the I've scripture when you make all your decisions,
That's what that means. You know, perception.
Is some people say, perception is reality.
That's not true. It is sort of but let me modify
it perception. Is your reality?
So what your perception is your reality?
Everybody can have all manner of perceptions.
Right, your reality. So what do you got to do?
What do we have to do to have the right reality?
We have to bind the word of God on our foreheads as it were, and
let the word of God be as frontlets between our eyes, and
make our decisions with the scriptures in mind.
Well, they understood the passages.
They understood and they agreed with what Jesus quoted
obviously. But the Pharisees overlooked,
the essence of the passage. They failed to understand the
application of it. No doubt.
No wonder why Jesus says about the Pharisees, what they say do
it, why they know the law. But what they do not do that
because they say and they do not same as here.
They knew the passage probably quoted verbatim every single
time probably standing there with eloquent speech, and all of
that and masterfully, quote, the word of God, and miss the hook,
excuse me, and miss the whole point.
You know what the point was? They missed the essence of the
passage which was this. True.
Inner commitment to God is Not mindless formalism of dry
tradition, under the Old Law. It's about a heart that's in
tune, with its creator. Now, here's the answer to the
scribes. In verse 30 of Mark chapter 12,
here's the answer. So the question was, what's the
first commandment? And you shall love the Lord,
your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all
your mind, with all your strength.
This is the first commandment. Now, interesting about the word
love, and I realize that sometimes people have a
misunderstanding about love and sometimes we think love is just
what you feel. This word love doesn't even mean
that at all this word Love Actually refers to an act of
will that is born, get this, not a feeling of intelligence and
purpose. In other words, the love that
you have for God is a choice. And it's a choice that is based
on intelligence and purpose. And it's an active will not an
act of feeling. Just a little side note, this
free those side note, you know when people talk about falling
in love and they can't really help, they just fell in love and
then one day they break up. I just fell out of love.
Ivan preached on that sermon about 15 years, but I'll tell
you. That's really crazy.
When you think about that following in falling out, just
do right in fell out. Do you know that love is a
choice? It always is a choice.
Person might have a feeling of infatuation, but that's not
love. Real love that you need for the
rest of your life. In your relationships, in your
marriage, in your spiritual life, it is the kind of love.
That is an act of will And it's, when I say I choose to love you
for the rest of my life. I choose that.
You say that to your spouse. You say that to your God, they
failed to understand the concept of that.
Jesus says, here's the command. Here it is.
You got to love your God with all your heart will and soul.
Now interesting, obviously, this is agape love.
An agape love. Can truly be described only
agape. Love.
Can truly be described by the phrases heart, soul and mind.
Let's talk about what heart means. yeah, I know we speak of
the heart often and we should but Heart In.
This passage means this. What is it?
What is art? Heart is the main source of man
stops his words and his deeds, it is one's inner personal
being. It is the center of our
physical, emotional, and spiritual life, it is even the
center of our personality. As Terry osberg talked about his
heart. That's it, that's your
personality. That's what you are.
You've heard me say, you are what you are.
Sometimes it sounds harsh but really is really is true.
No doubt. That's what Jesus meant when he
said, where your treasure is, that's where your heart will
also be. Main source of man's thoughts is
the heart. All right, the center of one
spirituality and Percy at personality, it's not left to
emotion for chance. it's the kind of love that has a
Readiness to do anything that God requires That's what it
means to love God, with all your heart.
What About Your Soul? You know, the works sold their,
let's be said refers to the life that animates the body.
Now, usually, in scripture, the word Soul refers to a
combination of spirit and body or ones lat.
So to love God with all One Soul means this, we just sum it up
like this. It means this be ready to
sacrifice your life for God if faithfulness to God demands it.
That's what that means. That's how you love God with all
your soul. And I'm so thankful.
So, glad that Alan Bailey priest it, right?
Not because I appreciate that way because it is right in
Revelation, 1 and 10, when Jesus said, but be thou faithful unto
death and I will give you a crown of life.
It means not only it includes, but not only until your life is
over or all of your life until you die.
But it It actually means even if it means your death, Jesus was
writing to people that were being persecuted, so harshly and
badly. That some of them were going to
lose their life. You know what?
Jesus said you'd be faithful even if it cost you your life,
you know what that is. That's loving God, with all your
soul. You can do anything. if you have
to, Your faithfulness requires it.
All right now, wait a minute now.
Try to put this together. My head, talk about the heart.
We know the heart's not feeling we know the heart has something
to do with your thinking your mind.
So why is mind listed separately?
What's mine mean? What does it mean with all of
your mind will remember this? The heart is the source of man's
thoughts. The mind is not only the seat of
intellectual life, but it's also the seat of our disposition and
our attitude. don't you see they go together because this your
attitude is the aroma of your heart which is your inner being
It is the aroma of your inner being they go together.
Have you ever stopped to consider how important your
attitude is? I'm going to tell you something.
Attitude is so important. Did you know this?
Now I'm going to tell you one of the hardest things in the world,
the beat is cancer. It's a tough one.
And some people succumb to it
and do and don't make it. It's a hard hard battle,
fortunately, they've making great strides and people have
our beating it today. That's wonderful.
I'm very thankful. That I happen to be the
recipient of that good stuff. but I'ma tell you something,
when you talk about things in life about attitude, did you
know that your attitude even though you're taking the
medicine, even though you're praying to God and all the
things involved, it has been proven that a person with a
positive attitude has a far, better chance to beat that
terrible disease then if they have a rotten one, in other
words, if you got a rotten one, can cost you your life, can you
imagine having a rotten spiritual attitude?
What's that going to do? Ruin your spiritual life.
And the way you have to do and what you got to do, you got to
get rid of your rotten attitude, I'm saying you as in general not
talking about anybody in particular, you got to get rid
of your rotten spiritual attitude so you don't die
spiritually. Attitudes.
Everything you go. It is.
It's the mind again, it's a choice and it is a reflection of
our inner being so. Partial dedication, folks is no
dedication at all. In these passages, we find this
that we are to love God with all of our faculties strength.
By the way, is spiritual strength, not physical,
strength, spiritual strength. And incidentally, did you know
that the greatest act of strength?
Length is submission. I'm going to tell you, people
don't like to do this in the world.
They don't like to submit to anything.
They want to be strong on the outside and determine what
they're going to do and who they're going to obey and all
that. But I'ma tell you right now, the
greatest act of strength is willful submission.
Now, that's every Christian to God, Your stuff to consider how
great and how strong are Christian.
Wives are When they have made the choice to willfully submit
to their husbands as an act of strength.
Pretty amazing. But that's every Christian to
folks. You know what the Lord is
saying? Here, you got to love God with
all your faculties, what are they?
Your heart, your soul your mind and your strength.
With all of that. Not partial dedication, Mark 12
and 30. This is the first commandment
Jesus sums up what he said. He sums up the answer.
To the question is that this is the first commandment.
But in response to describes question of what's the first or
the greatest Jesus. Now is going to add something.
I love this. Jesus is now going to add
something, he's going to preach another sermon, he's going to
bring it on down. It's going to make so much
sense. You've heard me say this before.
It is true that some of the things that Jesus priests were
some of the most profound things in all of the Bible and yet he
being the master, he could preach it in such a way that was
so simple that even a child. Could understand.
You know, what Jesus says about. Loving God, they got it.
Then he said this is the first commandment, they got it.
But you know what else? Now he's going to go to
Leviticus 19 and 18 and this is what he's going to say.
It's found in verse 31 of Mark 12 and the second is like this,
you shall love your neighbor as your self.
Did you see that? You should love your neighbor.
As yourself, you know what that means?
That means you have to love yourself.
You know what that means? Hating yourself.
Is a sin? When you come into the world,
did you not know you've been given the quality of loving
yourself? And if I'm not telling the truth
right here, then why did he say? You got to love your neighbor as
yourself. If it's alright to hate yourself
and we know we can't hate I want to add something else too.
I don't care who you are. I don't care who you are and I
don't care what your background is.
You've made mistakes. And so have I, and sometimes our
mistakes shame us. Okay.
Make it right?
And be forgiven. Okay.
If God can forgive you like it never happened.
Why can't we forgive our self? We don't hate ourselves, folks.
We love ourself. That is scriptural.
In fact, Jesus says In this passage in this commandment from
Leviticus, Jesus is saying that the standard in which you
measure love for your neighbor is the same one that's on par
with loving yourself. Again, if you can hate yourself,
you can hate your neighbor. Can't do it.
Now. Here's kind of the problem,
though. You might wonder what who is my
neighbor. You never went Jesus.
Dealt with the lawyer one time. I'm not going to go very deep
into this, but really quickly. He dealt with the lawyer one
time. And Jesus tells the lawyer that
there was a man that fell among Thieves on the Jericho Road.
We know the whole thing fast forward, a priest went by and
passed on the other side. A worshiper of God.
He did nothing a levite, a worker in the temple.
You know what? He did, he come over, took a
look and then he passed by on the other side.
But then there was a man. And he didn't know this man at
all. He was a Samaritan.
And the Jews looked down upon the Samaritans, the combination
of a Jew and a gentile. They hated their guts.
He comes on the scene. He sees this man, he fixes his
wounds. He puts him on his Beast, he
takes him to the end. He tells the head of the end
there. He tells the man here, here's
money, right here, out of my pouch, and if it's not enough to
cover his expenses while he recovers and recuperates, when I
come back, I'll pay it Jesus turns to the lawyer much like
this guy right here, he turns to the lawyer and he said, let me
ask you this because the man had said, well, who's my neighbor
Again, God In The Box. Give me the bare minimum.
I'm going to love him and I don't have to love him, so if I
don't have to love him, I'm not. Jesus says, let me ask you this,
which one was neighborly to the man.
And the lawyer said, the one that showed him Mercy.
The definition of neighbor in the dictionary.
You don't. It is a night dweller.
Meaning you live next to somebody by live next to Terry.
Terry is my neighbor. It's not the word neighbor here,
folks. The word neighbor here is
referring to anybody. Anybody who providentially is
brought your way. And we have to treat them with
love as we love our self. Now upon reflection one.
Observes this McMillan said, this one observes that the first
commandment, in fact, includes the second because you can't
love God without loving your fellow.
Man, they go hand in hand. In fact, these two passages,
that Jesus quotes are actually the essence of the two tables of
the decalogue, or the 10 commandments for Ample.
The first four Commandments regulate man's relationship to
God. In fact, there are practical
summary of what it means to love God.
That's the first four Commandments the last six of the
Ten Commandments regulates man's relationship to his fellow man.
In other words, a practical summary of what it means to love
your neighbor. Jesus adds this he said, here's
your answer. Here's the first commandment.
Here's the great. Commandment in the law.
I'm going to add this though. Got to love your neighbor as
yourself. Ourselves, you know why they go
hand-in-hand. You know why they're both the
same. One.
Includes the other. In fact Jesus said this.
There is no other commandment greater than these.
Mark chapter 12. 32 and 33. Here's the response.
I'm almost finished. So the scribes said to him well
said teacher. You have spoken, the truth for
there is one God and there is no other.
But he, and to love him with all the heart, with all the
understanding, with all the soul, with all the strength and
to love ones neighbor, as oneself is more than all the
whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Now, you know what Jesus said after this, he said in Mark 12
and 34, Jesus saw that he answered wisely.
Hey. now, the word wisely means sensibly, or in intelligently
when Jesus saw that, the man answered intelligently In that
response to Jesus. He was showing spiritual insight
and intelligence by seeing that moral responsibilities were far
more important than ceremonial observances of the Old Law.
Again, remember that? Remember the weightier matters?
They neglected, the weightier matters.
They did all home and they did all kinds of stuff neglected.
The weightier matters. And Jesus says this.
He says to this man. You are not far from the kingdom
of God. Remember in a theocracy, by the
way, which is a system of government, where priests ruled
the name of God, under the, under the Old Law, in this
theocracy people that were described as being far off.
They were either exiled Jews according to Isaiah 57, or they
were Gentiles. So you could be in proximity,
you can be distant from the kingdom, I guess you could say
and it would be described in miles or ceremonial stuff.
Observances. But not the New Kingdom.
Don't you see the new kingdom is all about and the distance is
not measured by Miles, its measured by your spiritual
condition. Jesus says that in this manner,
this man answered wisely, intellectually intelligently.
And Jesus says, you're not that far away.
You're not that far away. in other words, intellectual you're
qualified or almost qualified for admission to the kingdom and
then in verse 34 At the end of the verse but after that no one
dared, question him. Remember the question seems as I
mentioned a little bit ago, the question of the Scribe, seems
kind of friendly. But listen, there's no
friendliness going on here at all.
None at all, you know, when Jesus came into Jerusalem, all
those, the hated Jesus. Remember how many people their
loved Jesus, at least of, as of, then the multitudes and them and
all of that, that would turn on Jesus later.
They love Jesus. So you know what, the religious
leaders said we got to do, we've got to try to turn the people
against Jesus because we want to kill it.
So it sounds as though it's kind of nice polite friendly
questioning from The Scribe but none of it was friendly, it was
captious. It was hostile with the
intention of into snaring. Jesus to destroy his credibility
with the multitudes. And after Jesus masterfully
answers everyone at all backfired.
He answered the Pharisees, he answered the herodians, he
answered the Sadducees and now just straightened out the
Scribe. And the Bible says this.
Oh, after all. That they didn't estimate other
thing. Have you ever heard the phrase?
Or the term, or this little rule of thumb?
When a lawyer in a court of law? I've heard this, my whole life,
a lawyer is never supposed to ask a question that he doesn't
already know the answer. So if you are, you got somebody
on the stand, you ask him a question.
You know, what to look foolish? And prove, the other guys case.
So you better know what the answer is.
Can you imagine how it was with Jesus?
You got the Pharisees, you got the herodians, you get the
Sadducees, you got the scribes. You got a man?
That was a lawyer. They think they got him dead to
rights. He answers every one of them and
you know what happened? They said oh we're going to
know. That's another thing.
We just took a weapon, we better not ask him one more thing.
But in closing, the Lord's not done.
He answered the question and then now he's going to ask a
question. He says to them.
He says what do you think of Christ?
He said whose son is he? You know, they said, oh, he's
the son of David. You know, the son of David was a
time for the Messiah, the Jews believed in the Messiah, they
