If Jesus says “The greatest commandment is….”, we should probably stop and listen.  He said that it’s to love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind and soul.  And the second greatest commandment is similar: Love your neighbor like you love yourself.

Love God.  Love people.

We can talk all day about loving God but the bottom line is that we already know that we are supposed to do that.  But there are so many of us that don’t realize our responsibility to love others.  Recently I attended a conference session and Dino Rizzo (author of Servolution) was the speaker.  He said that the Bible speaks of two basins.  One basin Jesus used to wash His disciples’ feet.  The other was used by Pilate to wash his hands “of” Jesus.  To be done with him.  We can either wash people’s feet or we can wash our hands of them.
