Jesus Is...Smart

I’ve provided supplemental videos in this blog that address questions raised by the text. These are optional, but may help draw more meaning out of the verses. The video will appear above the question(s) to which it is related.

Read Jesus’ answer to the question posed in verse 28 (His answer is found in verses 29-31).

1.      

 What does it mean to love God internally?

2.      

 What does it look like to love God tangibly?

3.      

 How does one love his neighbor and why is it so important?

The teacher who posed the question in verse 28 responds to Jesus’ answer in verses 32-33. Read this response.

4.      

 In what way is comprehensive love for God and a tangible love for ones neighbor more important than offering whole burnt offering and sacrifices?

A burnt offering just symbolized submission to God, but keeping the two greatest commandments demonstrated submission to God!

5.      

 Hopefully Jesus’ questions in verses 35-37 aren’t as random as they seem. What might Jesus be saying about Himself in these verses?
