Limerick

A Pharisee once asked the Lord
“What is the greatest commandment word?”
The Lord said, “Love God above
And love your neighbor with love
For on these two hang all of His Law.”

Potential actions to take in response

One practical way to respond to the teaching of Matthew 22:15-22 is by living out the laws of God in our daily lives. Jesus taught us that the greatest commandments are to love God and to love our neighbor as ourselves. This means that we should strive to serve God each day by loving and caring for others, treating them with kindness and respect, and putting their needs first. We must also be mindful to not only obey the Ten Commandments but to live out what Jesus said in this passage – “render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s.” This means that we should honor our leaders and governments while still staying loyal to God and His Word. Ultimately, Jesus was reminding us to always put God first in our lives, even when it comes to how we interact with the world around us.
