Today's Scripture: The Pharisees, when they heard that He had silenced the Sadducees, gathered themselves together. One of them, a lawyer, asked Him a question, testing Him. "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the law?" Jesus said to him, "'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.' This is the first and great commandment. A second likewise is this, 'You shall love your neighbor as yourself.' The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments." --Matthew 22:34-40 In Matthew's chronology the "religious establishment" challenges Jesus for the last time in today's pericope. This exchange would have taken place on Tuesday of Holy Week. From here on out they will only be plotting and attempting to bring about His demise. For their final shot, they bring an "expert" in the law. They do this to "test" Jesus--but that's not accurate. One "tests" another in the hopes that they will pass the test. The lawyer actually "tempts" Jesus--in fact the original language uses the same term for this "test" as was used by Satan in "testing/tempting" Jesus. One who tempts rather than tests hopes that the person tested/tempted will fail. They choose a subject they had long debated amongst themselves: which commandments were to be prioritized over other commandments? The Law Expert hoped to entrap Jesus in a lengthy discussion where he could do what lawyers are best at: to try to steer the questioning into numerous traps and pitfalls:no-win situations which would at least give the impression of the interrogator "winning" the debate. Again, he and his cohorts were no match for Jesus, who got straight to the point: Jesus begins by referring to a part of the Shema--recited daily by pious Jews from ancient times--which recitation includes the commandment "to love God with all one's heart, soul, and might." Jesus makes a slight amendment by replacing "might" with "mind," thus making it even more all-encompassing--particularly for His debate opponent who was employing his "mind" for treacherous purposes. Still, there was little that His opponents could dispute in this: this was the bedrock foundation of the faith! Loving God is the first thing, the most important thing. The next response of Jesus had a bedrock foundation as well, although it was most likely seldom referred to by His opponents in that same context. Nonetheless it is a necessary corollary: to love God means that you also love God's people. The ancient rabbis put it in similar terms: "What is hateful to you do not do to your neighbor. That is the whole Law." What more can be said after this? Silenced, the Pharisees finally withdraw from the fight. On the next day, they hatch the plan that will remove this trouble-making prophet and permanently silence Him. The key problem in interpreting this double commandment for our time is another translation problem: we have only one word--"love"--that covers a great variety of nuances that were originally defined with much more precision in Scripture. The language of the Gospels was Greek which had at least eight terms for what we would simply refer to as 'love"--you might wish to refer to them here: https://greekcitytimes.com/2020/02/14/the-8-ancient-greek-words-for-love/: Unfortunately our culture has come to equate love with intense emotion--the very definition that Greeks (and many other cultures) viewed with alarm, as giving in to it could override all other considerations: logic, morality, or just about anything else. Modern societies have gotten themselves into deep trouble by defining 'love" only or even primarily in this way since this emotion is fleeting and is bound to cool over time. When that happens, couples may think of themselves as having fallen "out of love" and hence prone to chase these feelings through physical involvement with others who give them that feeling of 'excitement' again--at least until that too cools and the process repeats itself. Today's worldly society promotes rampant promiscuity in all phases of popular culture--even implying that
