Jesus invited his disciples to follow with these words, “Come, follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.”
That invitation sounds a lot like love God (follow me) and love people (become people who lead people to Jesus).
These two commandments summarized the law and prophets—that’s a look back in time and epitomize the New Testament—a look forward.
So why is it?
If I ask a person if they have a plan for loving God, they can quickly name off that they will read their Bible, pray, attend a group, go to worship, and even throw in a spiritual discipline like fasting.
But if I ask the plan for loving their neighbor, there is often a long pause.
It’s not as obvious.
