And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. (Mark 12:29-30 KJV)
So each week someone at church is chosen to read the verse of scripture that the sermon will be over. Our average Sunday attendance is 450-600 so neither my wife or I have been chosen in the many years we have been members. But last week was different. Someone asked my wife if she would read the verse of the day. She was reluctant, as I would be, because of our fear of public speaking So she prayed about it and received the verse via Facebook before accepting. Once she read the verse it was obvious that God was joking with her! The passage is as stated above It also happens to be the only thing that is tattooed on my body 10 years ago. My right bicep states: Love the Lord your God with all your heart... Mark 12:30.
He is real.
He does have a since of humor.
This is his most important command.
