Have you ever wanted someone to take Christianity and break it down to its lowest common denominator, eliminate the seminary terminology, and get to the bottom line? Jesus did exactly this when asked by the lawyer, “Which is the great commandment?” (Matthew 22:36) Obviously this was a Pharisaical professor of Old Testament law patronizing a humble carpenter. In His answer, Jesus encompassed the entirety of what living for God is all about. He equated the vertical and horizontal dimensions and communicated them in a language a child could understand. Cleave to the lowly Nazarene in complete abandon. Stoke the dying amber of you being into the furnace of God’s passion. Display a do not disturb sign on the door of your prayer chamber, barricade your flesh inside until the winds of the Spirit breathe upon your soul, resuscitating your fervency.
