Certainly, all of the Bible is important, and should be part of a believer’s daily reading/study, but for some reason, many Christians are oblivious of the verses where Jesus says: 'If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Helper, to be with you forever,' (John 14:15-16)And, 'Whoever has my commandments and keeps them, he it is who loves me. And he who loves me will be loved by my Father, and I will love him and manifest myself to him.' (John 14:21)Finally, 'These things I command you, so that you will love one another.' (John 15:17)So the question we need to ask ourselves is, What Are These Commandments? Do we know them? Let’s talk about what a commandment is, and let’s use something most of us are familiar with. Do parents command their children? Do they 'lay down the rules?' Do they lovingly instruct them? Do they teach them how to live, hoping and praying their children will become mature and responsible adults? Of course they do. This is something most parents do for about 20 or so years, sometimes with tears and grief, always looking to the future for success. Jesus had three years to prepare His disciples to 'turn the world upside down,' which through the power of the Holy Spirit, they did.Many Christians can recite these two commandments: 'But when the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together. And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. 'Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?' And he said to him, (1) 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: (2) You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.' (Matthew 22:34-40)'And Jesus came and said to them, 'All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.' (Matthew 28:18-20)The Great Commission includes sharing the good news of the Gospel everywhere, baptizing converts, and making disciples. Oh, and teaching Jesus’ commandments. Do you know what they are? Do you live them out?
