Reflection

     Jesus is presented with the daunting task of choosing the most important law for Jews. The dilemma is that there are so many laws, no matter which He picks, the Pharisees will argue that another law is a better choice. But His answer is impossible to dispute, because no law is more important than loving God and each other, since these are the principles on which Jewish laws are based.

     We are presented with this question almost daily. Which law for us is most important? Our answer is found in our actions. How well we treat others in traffic, how kind we are to those we work with, how loving we are to our family and friends, and how generous we can be to those less fortunate all answer the question. The opportunity to be the best witness for Christ comes along everyday. It's our choice how well we respond.
