This is a ministry of striving for eternity. We've seen that Jesus exposed the
01:16
Jewish leaders for their hypocrisy. They wanted to try to discredit Jesus in front of the
01:22
Jewish people, but what we end up seeing is Jesus just shuts the mouths of the Pharisees, the Herodians, the
01:28
Sadducees, but now one other group comes up, and that is the scribes. And so they send one of the scribes up to ask the challenging question, what is the most important commandment of all?
01:41

02:29
But he says all the commandments, every commandment fits under love the Lord your God with all your mind, heart, soul, and strength.
02:35
Then you can love your neighbor as yourself. And all the commandments, all of them fit under this.
02:41
And again, the mouths of the Jews were stopped. However, this scribe,
