What if following Jesus could be summed up in two simple, life-changing commands? In this week’s message, “Cliff Notes,” we look at Jesus’ famous words that cut through religious complexity and reveal the very heart of our faith: Love God completely and love people genuinely.

As the Pharisees tried to trap Jesus with a question about the greatest commandment, He reframed everything — moving the conversation from rules to relationship. Loving God means wholehearted devotion — with our heart, soul, mind, and strength. It’s not partial or passive; it’s plugging our whole life into the true source of power. And that kind of love naturally overflows into loving others — not just the people who are easy to love, but every neighbor God places in our path.

This message reminds us that the entire law, the whole story of Scripture, and the purpose of our lives hinge on these two hinges of love. In a noisy and divided world, Jesus calls us back to the main thing — to be people who reflect His heart through real, thoughtful, genuine love. www.movementcolumbus.com
