The Greeting and the Opening Sentence:                                               Doug Edwards                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

I wait for the Lord; my soul waits,

And in his word I hope;

My soul waits for the Lord

More than those who watch for the morning,

 

More than those who watch for the morning.

                                                                                            Psalm 130: 5-6

 

The Lord’s Prayer

 

*The Opening Hymn # 64                                               God will Take Care of You

 

The Scripture Reading                         Mark 12: 28-34

 

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating.  Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, “Of all the commandments, which is the most important?

 

“The most important one,”  answered Jesus, “is this: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.  Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.’ The second is this: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’  There is no commandment greater than these.”

 

“Well said, teacher,” the man replied, “You are right in saying that God is one and there is no other but him.  To love him with all your heart, and all your understanding and with all your strength and to love your neighbor as yourself is more important than all burnt offerings and sacrifices.”

 

When Jesus saw that he had answered wisely, he said to him “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” 

And from then on no one dared ask him any more questions.
