Main Objective: This Gospel lesson reminds us of what should be the most important element of our lives as Christians. At the end of the day, the essential “rule” to follow is that we love God and love one another. If we put that first, other things should fall into place. This message seeks to communicate that to children. There are always laws, instructions, or regulations to follow. First and foremost in these should be our commitment to love the Lord and His people.
But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. 35 And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 36 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”
-Matthew 22:34-40
