最大的诫命
律法的核心是爱。它是一位慈爱的父亲给祂地上儿女的一套生活准则。耶稣在开始教导律法时，告诉人们祂来是要成全律法，而不是废去律法。祂来是要向每个人显明，怎样靠着爱的律法生活。
祂解释说，不能废掉这诫命中最小的一条，这很重要。然后祂说，我们不仅要按着律法生活，还要教导律法。耶稣希望每个人都知道怎样以最好的方式生活，而最好的方式就是爱。
你知道最大的两条诫命吗？你要尽心，尽性，尽意，尽力，爱主你的神。其次，要爱人如己。（可 12:30-31）。这两条诫命概括了神的整个律法，以达到最好的生活方式。
操练并教导神那律法，你在天国将要称为大的。愿我们靠着耶稣那完全的爱生活并教导律法。在天国里的生命，不仅意味着相信神伟大的爱，也包括靠它而活。
父神，感谢你启示我们，该怎样在地上活在你的国。请帮助我们尊崇你，在我们一切所行中显明你奇妙的爱。奉耶稣的名，阿们。
马太福音 5:13-20
13 “你们是世上的盐。盐若失了味，怎能叫它再咸呢？以后无用，不过丢在外面，被人践踏了。
14 你们是世上的光。城造在山上，是不能隐藏的。
15 人点灯，不放在斗底下，是放在灯台上，就照亮一家的人。
16 你们的光也当这样照在人前，叫他们看见你们的好行为，便将荣耀归给你们在天上的父。
17 “莫想我来要废掉律法和先知，我来不是要废掉，乃是要成全。
18 我实在告诉你们：就是到天地都废去了，律法的一点一画也不能废去，都要成全。
19 所以，无论何人废掉这诫命中最小的一条，又教训人这样做，他在天国要称为最小的；但无论何人遵行这诫命，又教训人遵行，他在天国要称为大的。
20 我告诉你们：你们的义若不胜于文士和法利赛人的义，断不能进天国。
The Greatest Commandments
“Anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands... will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.” — Matthew 5:19
The heart of God’s law is love. The law is a set of guidelines, given by a loving Father to his children for living in this world. In his teaching about the law, Jesus begins by telling people that he came to fulfill the law, not to do away with it. He came to show everyone how to live by the law of love.
He explains that it’s important not to do away with even the smallest part of the law. And then he raises the bar by saying we should not only live by the law but also teach it. Jesus wants everyone to know how to live the best way, and that the best way is love.
Do you know the two greatest commandments? Love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and love your neighbor as yourself (Mark 12:30-31). These two commands sum up the whole law of God for the best way of living.
Practice and teach God’s law of love, and you will be great in the kingdom of heaven. May we find ourselves living and teaching by the radical love of Jesus. Life in the kingdom of heaven means not just believing in God’s great love but also living by it.
Father God, thank you for revealing to us how to live in your kingdom here on earth. Help us to honor and show your amazing love in all we do. In Jesus, Amen.
