This is My Commandment

Jesus said to him, “’You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all you soul, and with all your mind.’ This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like it: ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ On these two commandments hang all the Law and Prophets.” -Matthew 22:37-39

This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to law down one’s life for his friends.” -John 15:12,13

Casting Stones & Hypocrites!

Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me remove the speck that is in your eye.’ when you yourself do not see the plank that it is your own eye? Hypocrite! First remove the plank from your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck that is in your brother’s eye.” -Luke 6:41

But Jesus said to them, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you pay tithe of mint and anise and cumin, and have neglected the weightier matters of the law: justice and mercy and faith. These you ought to have done, without leaving the others undone. Blind guides, who strain out a gnat and swallow a camel! Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you cleanse the outside of the cup and dish, but inside they are full of extortion and self-indulgence.-Matthew 23:23-25

And He said, “Woe to you also, you lawyers! For you load men with burdens hard to bear, and you yourselves do not touch the burdens with one of your fingers.” -Luke 11:46

But if you had known what this means, “I desire mercy and not sacrifice,” you would not have condemned the guiltless.” -Matthew 12:7

“And when they had come to Capernaum, those who received the temple tax came to Peter and said, “Does your Teacher not pay the temple tax?” He said, “Yes.” And when he had come into the house, Jesus anticipated him, saying, “What do you think, Simon? From whom do the kings of the earth take customs or taxes, from their own sons or from strangers?” Peter said to Him, “From strangers.” Jesus said to him, “Then the sons are free. Nevertheless, lest we offend them, go to the sea, cast in a hook, and take the fish that comes up first. And when you have opened it’s mouth, you will find a piece of money; take that and give it to them for Me and you.” -Matthew 17:24-27

Then He also said to him who invited Him, “When you give a dinner or a supper, do not ask your friends, your brothers, your relatives, nor your rich neighbors, lest they also invite you back, and you be repaid.

And you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you; for you shall be repaid at the resurrection of the just.” -Luke 14:12-14

And if you lend to those from whom you hope to receive back, what credit is that to you? For even sinners lend to sinners to receive as much back. But love your enemies, do good, and lend, hoping for nothing; and your reward will be great, and you will be sons of the Highest. For He is kind to the unthankful and evil. Therefore be merciful, just as your Father also is merciful. Judge not, and you shall not be judged. Condemn not, and you shall not be condemned. Forgiven, and you will be forgiven.” -Luke 6:34

“…(F)or everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more.” -Luke 12; 48

False Prophets

Do you suppose that I came to give peace one earth? I tell you, not at all, but rather division. For from now on five in one house will be divided: three against two, and two against three.

For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives but to save them.” -Luke 9:56

For whoever has, to him more will be given, and he will have abundance; but whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him. Therefore I speak to them in parables, because seeing they do not see, and hearing they do not hear, nor do they understand.” -Matthew 13:12,13

“’Therefore take the talent from him, and give it to him who has ten talents. For to everyone who has, more will be given, and he will have abundance; but from him who does not have, even what he has will be taken away. And cast the unprofitable servant into the outer darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.’” -Matthew 25:28, 29

They said to Him, “Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, and to put her away?” He said to them, “Moses, because of the harness of your hearts, permitted you to divorce your wives, but from the beginning it was not so. And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and marries another, commits adultery; and whoever marries her who is divorced commits adultery.” His disciples said to Him, “If such is the case of the man with his wife, it is better not to marry.” But He said to them, “All cannot accept this saying, but only those to whom it has been given: For there are eunuchs who were born thus from their mother’s womb, and there are eunuchs who were made eunuchs by men, and there are eunuchs who have made themselves eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven’s sake. He who is able to accept it let him accept it.” -Matthew 19:7-12

And whoever will not receive you nor hear your words, when you depart from that house or city, shake off the dust from your feet.” -Matthew 10:14
