If we were honest with ourselves, most of us aren’t really all that concerned about the question the “preacher” asked in Matthew 22:36 (“what is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?”). As a result, we probably don’t care that much about the answer. We don’t view it as being relevant to what’s going on in our crazy lives. We would probably want to have a different question answered: “of all the things I need and want to do in life, what should be on the top of my list?” That is a relevant question.
Guess what – the answer to both questions is pretty much the same!
