Jesus taught, “If any want to become My followers, let them deny themselves, take up their cross and follow me. For those who want to save their life will lose it and those who lose their life for my sake and for the sake of the Gospel will save it.” –Mark 8:34-35 Image Courtesy: I Love Jesus & Mary
The Golden Rule
Jesus: “In everything do to others as you would have them do to you;
For this the the Law of the Prophets.” (See: Leviticus 19:18) –Matthew 7:12
Jesus: “I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Those who love Me will keep My Word and My Father will love them

TweetThe First (Greatest) Commandment
One of the Scribes (Lawyer, See: Matthew 22:35) came near and heard them (Pharisees,
Sadducee’s and Scribes) disputing with one another and seeing that Jesus answered them well,
he asked Him, ‘Which Commandment is the first of all?’ Jesus answered, “The first is, ‘Hear O
Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is One! (See: Deuteronomy 6:4) You shall love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul, with all your mind and with all your strength.’
The second is this, ‘You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’ (Leviticus 19:18)
There is no other Commandment greater than these.”
Then the Scribe said to Jesus, ‘You are right Teacher, You have truly said that He is One
(See: Deuteronomy 6:4-5) and beside Him there is no other and to love Him with all your heart
and with all the understanding, with all the strength and to love one’s neighbor as oneself
(Leviticus 19:18) — this is much more important than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.’
When Jesus saw that He answered wisely he said to him, “You are not far from the
Kingdom of God.” After that no one dared to ask Him any question. –Mark 12:28-34
