4 words

Matthew 22

34
 But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees with his reply, they met together to question him again.

35 One of them, an expert in religious law, tried to trap him with this question:

        36 "Teacher, which is the most important commandment in the law of Moses?"


37 Jesus replied,

        "'You must love the LORD your God with all your heart, all your soul, and all your mind.'

    
38 This is the first and greatest commandment.

     39 A second is equally important:

             'Love your neighbor as yourself.'

     40 The entire law and all the demands of the prophets are based on these two commandments."


There you have it - the whole of being a Christ follower in 4 words...

Love God.

Love people.

Now THAT will tattoo.

A friend of mine has it tattooed on each forearm in BIG letters.

On one forearm it says "Love God".

On the other it says "Love others".

Now THAT'S commitment to a truth.

But that what Jesus said when asked what is most important.

Love God. Love people.

I'd consider getting that tattoo.

Anybody got a suggestion for a design?
