Summary

Jesus, save us from modern morals! Actually, that's pretty much what He does when a scribe asks Him to tell us the most important command in the Law. Jesus brilliantly and simply sums up not only the Law of Moses but the moral duty of mankind with two simple statements. Love God with all and above all and love others as yourself. Our job is to let this truth invade all our moral reasoning and to make sure we don't turn it into a cliché and rob it of it's beauty and life changing results. The way this truth saves us from modern morality is by installing love of God above love of self or others. Yeah, that's the part everyone gets wrong. But Jesus sets us right. To me, one of the most remarkable things about all this is that love and relationship is at the heart of the moral purpose of mankind. We exist for love. We literally have love as our highest and constant moral duty toward God and others. Wow. I'm literally blown away by this but how could it be any different? After all, God IS love. Let that sink in. Man, I LOVE this study through Mark! This is part 49, see the WHOLE Gospel of Mark playlist here https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLZ3iRMLYFlHuGenHwUdeiQ5M-uj5XW4sF

0:14.5	This is what everybody seems to get wrong about morality and I'm not I already know because the way I did the title and thumb I'm not trying to be like all aggressively in your face exactly but I think it's a pervasive issue in our society and it's something we need to think about especially as followers of Christ
0:17.4	because moral errors and moral issues are the worst mistakes we can make in
0:22.0	life. If you look back at your past, usually
0:24.8	the moral mistakes, the mistakes that were about morality, the sin issues are the biggest
0:30.5	things wrong that you've ever done. And this is a pervasive moral error
0:35.9	that is throughout our culture and our society and it's in the minds and hearts of
0:39.6	many Christians as they try to work through moral reasoning, ethical reasoning as Christians.
0:44.6	And this, I think, this study today is going to help you with this massively.
0:49.5	This is what everyone in the world seems to get wrong about morality. and I'm not saying because Mike's going to
0:54.4	correct you. No Jesus is going to correct you. Jesus is correcting me, correcting you, correcting
1:00.4	the world on this topic of morality. This is actually a theme he has
1:04.9	going through the Gospels where Jesus encounters people and he has to sort of
1:07.8	fix their understanding of morals. And we need this as much today as they needed it then. This is the
1:14.7	Mark series part 49. I'm Pastor Mike Winger teaching verse by verse through the
1:18.2	gospel of Mark right now. I do a couple videos a week on YouTube doing
1:21.7	you know studies to help you learn to think
1:24.0	biblically about everything whether it's first by first-by-verse studies Q&A or
1:27.3	videos exposing Kenneth Copeland and his nonsense all of the above that was
1:32.0	yesterday and today we are in Mark chapter 12 and we're
1:36.2	going to be looking at versus 28 through 34. And you already are familiar with this
1:41.0	passage, many of you are, I'm really just going to help you hopefully understand it more deeply
