Raising the Bar

In some states the Ten Commandments are being placed in public places. Some are happy about this and others protest that in a country proclaiming freedom of religion this isn’t right. As a Christian I wonder why they don’t put up Jesus’ two commandments instead. Jesus has raised the bar. Love the Lord with all your soul and all your mind and love your neighbor as yourself. He even made clear who your neighbor was. No one can argue with those commandments, and they’ll find they are a lot more difficult to keep.

One thought on “Raising the Bar

  1. I can’t remember if I responded or not, so sorry if I am repeating myself. When my sister in law asked about what God required of us, I said it is as simple as this: Love God, and love one another. Love your messages! Anne
