Our Church’s Vision is anchored from the Great Commission and the Great Commandment
Text: The Greatest Commandment
Mark 12
After the tricky questions comes an honest one.
A teacher asks Jesus about the most important law.
It is a good question, because the Jewish law has become very elaborate.
On one estimate, the Ten Commandments have spawned 613 lesser laws
248 of them positive and 365 negative.
(BREATHE)
The ordinary person needs a clear path through this jungle of legislation.
Jesus says there is one central commandment from which all the others spring:
‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength’ ().
It is used as a daily prayer by every pious Jew.
‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ ().
Then Jesus adds another commandment, which he says is equally important: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself’ (Leviticus 19:18).
For Jesus, love for God goes hand in hand with love for others.

(BREATHE)
Now, let us zero in to verse 30, and see what kind of “personalities” (people character), the Lord is talking about
Illustration: Story of Margaret (and her twin sister.
Identical twins but different “personality”)
Heart (kardia)
In , some Pharisees made another attempt to confront Jesus
This time they asked the Lord about traditions, particularly the need to wash hands before eating
Jesus replied, “and why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition?”.
The Lord went on with His discourse and said in verse:
Here you’ll see the connection between the heart and the mouth
(BREATHE)
God wants us to love Him with all our mouth, in other words, with all our “talk”
Some people are born “talker”
We need communicators such as teachers, pastors, counselors
The Bible said, faith comes from hearing the word of God, but how can they hear if not one will talk to them?
We need “Talkers”
Heart people loves to talk, they tell stories
(BREATHE)
But, our greatest strength is also our greatest weakness
Pure talk without act is bad
Sometimes too much talking ends up to gossiping
Turn to your neighbor and ask, Are you a “Talker”
(BREATHE)
Soul (psyc-hē)
According to Lexham Theological Wordbook:
The soul is the life-force of the person and often refers to the whole being.
It needs to be sustained in order for life to thrive,
and it is the seat of desires, emotions, and will.
The soul can be in intimate relationship with God or be under God’s judgment.
The soul is the life-force of the person and often refers to the whole being.
It needs to be sustained I order for life to thrive, and it is the seat of desires, emotions, and the will.
The soul can be in intimate relationship with God or be under God’s judgment.
In other words, soul represents our emotions, our feelings
We need people who feels for people
We need “feelers”
People who are compassionate
(BREATHE)
But again, our greatest strength is also our greatest weakness
Very emotional people may tend to become very sensitive sometimes
They are easily offended
Are you a “Feeler”
Mind (dianoia)
The Baker Encyclopedia of the Bible defines mind as the:
Man’s intellectual processes in a narrow sense
