Jesus Put Others First

Over the last two weeks, Jesus has shown us how to love God with all of our hearts and souls as we obey Him and with all of our hearts and minds as we put God first. That is the first of Jesus’ two great commandments, READ Matthew 22:37-40.

What about that second command? Jesus shows us that loving others, or your neighbor as yourself, is done through an attitude of serving others – looking at them as more important than yourself.
