“TEACHER, WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW?”
(Matthew 22:35-40)
Intr.:
One of them (a Pharisee), an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?
Jesus replied:
A. ” ‘LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD
1. with all your heart and
2. with all your soul and
3. with all your mind.’
This is the first and
greatest commandment.
And the second is like it:
B. ‘LOVE YOU NEIGHBOUR AS YOURSELF.’
End:
All the law and the
Prophets
hang on these two commandments.”

When Jesus came to the region of Caesarea Philippi,
he asked his disciples,
A. “Who do people say the Son of Man is?”

Elijah; and
3. still others say,
Jeremiah or
one of the prophets.”
B. “But what about you?” he asked
“Who do you say I am?”
Simon Peter answered,
“You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
End:
Jesus replied,” Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah,
for this was not revealed to you by man,
but by my Father in heaven.”

Hebrews 11:27 (RSV)
“By faith he (Moses) left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king; for he endured as seeing him who is invisible.”
“To endure is greater than to dare. To tire out hostile fortune, To be daunted by no difficulty, To keep heart when all have lost it; Who can say this is not greatness?” – William Thackeray

MEMORIES
It is only a small card, the size of a bank card. On one side is written “Your kids make memories everyday.”
And a very interesting picture also. I like it. A father kneeling, with both of his hands on the floor, and four kids trying to get on his back. Two are making it alright, but number three has his feet on the ground and number four is on the back of number three. What a picture.
On the reverse side is written: “How they remember you will last their lifetime……” What a message! I picked the card up at the local Women’s Refuge Office.
But parents have also memories of their children when they were small. And those memories will also last a lifetime….
I remember the time spent with them, especially the rides in the car. We did not not only spend nights in motels along the coasts of Northland but also nights in tents.
Matauri Bay was one of our camping grounds.
I remember also the Christian Schools they attended and the Sunday Schools. (We used to be workers with the United Maori Mission from the end of 1980 until the end of 2004 in Kaikohe)
One of these days I will ask them how they remember me.
How do I want to be remembered by them? I want to be remembered by them as the one who helped them to know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Saviour!
