Broadcast<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n To Summarize... - Part 2\n Matthew 22:35-40\n 10\/06\/2026\n\n\n 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to\n test him.\n 36 ``Teacher, which is the great commandment in the\n Law?''\n 37 And he said to him, ```You shall love the Lord\n your God with all your heart and with all your\n soul and with all your mind.'\n 38 This is the great and first commandment.\n 39 And a second is like it `You shall love your\n neighbor as yourself.'\n 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and\n the Prophets.'' (ESV)\n\n This week's prayer asks God to direct us so that we may keep\n His holy law.\n O God, because without You we are not able to please\n You, mercifully grant that Your Holy Spirit may in all\n things direct and rule our hearts.\n\n\n In the Gospel reading, Jesus is asked about that law, which\n He summarized in two brief sentences.\n And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test\n him. ``Teacher, which is the great commandment in the\n Law?'' And he said to him, ```You shall love the Lord\n your God with all your heart and with all your soul and\n with all your mind.' This is the great and first\n commandment. And a second is like it `You shall love\n your neighbor as yourself.' On these two commandments\n depend all the Law and the Prophets.''\n\n\n Our problem is simple. Because of our sinful, selfish\n nature we cannot love God with our whole being. Because we are\n turned inward, seeking our own advantage, we cannot love our\n neighbor as ourselves. Thus, we stand condemned by the law. It\n works as a mirror, showing us our unrighteousness, showing us our\n need for a Savior.\n\n The Pharisees, however, insisted that they can keep the law\n perfectly, that they deserved heaven because they tried to do all\n the 613 Jewish laws demanded. We also fall into the same trap.\n As long as we think we are good enough, as long as we ignore the\n mirror of the law, we have no hope.\n\n May our Lord show us our sin so that we may see our Savior.\n Amen.\n<\/code><\/pre>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"October 6, 2026 Broadcast To Summarize… – Part 2 Matthew 22:35-40 10\/06\/2026 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is … Continue reading “To Summarize… – Part 2”<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5363","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-turn-your-radio-on-2026"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5363","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5363"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5363\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5364,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5363\/revisions\/5364"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5363"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5363"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/trinityslayton.info\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5363"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
