What happens when Jesus pits the law against the gospel? 

Dr. Steven Paulson, Luther House of Study’s Director of Lutheran Theology, joins Scripture First to discuss this week’s lectionary text: Matthew 22:34-46, or the passage where Jesus explains the greatest commandment as the law and introduces a new world that operates in the Messiah. 

In the conversation Kiri, Adam, and Mason ask: 

• How is the law essential to understanding the gospel? 
• Why won’t we do the law if we know what to do? 
• How do we know if we’re loving God and our neighbors correctly?
