The Beginning of Jesus' Passion: The Greatest Commandment

There are 613 commands in the Law of Moses. Trying to obey each one daily could become overwhelming. So we understand why a lawyer would ask Jesus, "What is the greatest command?" Listen as Dr. John teaches on the Greatest Commandment. We will find that reducing the commands down to a primary expectation doesn't eliminate all the others. In fact, knowing the primacy of love informs and guides our obedience in all that God has said. The Beginning of Jesus' Passion: "Passion" is defined as a compelling emotion or feeling. The word fits a wide range of experiences, from our favourite sports team, a hobby, a cause that captures us, and of course, our love. "Passion" applies to Jesus in His suffering and death. In this four week series, Dr. John traces through Matthew the experience of Jesus heading to the cross. Listen for the compelling emotion that led Jesus step by step. It wasn't fear, but love and joy that moved Him.
