- In response to the lawyer's question, Jesus summarizes the entire law into two commandments: love God and love your neighbor. Why are these commandments considering the greatest?
- How does genuine love for God lead to genuine love for others? Can one exist without the other?
- Discuss practical ways to express love for God and love for neighbors in your daily life.
- What does it mean to "love your enemies"? How is this concept different from the conventional way of thinking about enemies?
- Why do you think Jesus emphasized loving enemies and praying for those who persecute you? How does this teaching align with his overall message?
- What are the challenges of loving one's enemies? Can you think of any real-life examples where people have successfully practiced this teaching?
