Read Mt 22.34-40, Mk 12.28-34 – Knowing the right answers is not enough. Jesus was very impressed with the scribe who knew Loving God and Loving People was far more “important than all the burnt offerings and sacrifices.” But as impressed as Jesus was with his observation, He replies, “You are not far from the kingdom of God.” He was close but not in. What was the scribe missing? The King! The King is the key to the Kingdom. Are we focused on doing what is right or on the ONE who can make us right?
