Matthew 22:34-40; 28:18-20
INTRODUCTION
It was Passover week, and Jesus was teaching in the Temple, which He had violently cleansed the day before.
He had just finished telling and explaining three judgment parables against unbelieving Israel, particularly directed against the Temple rulers who had challenged His authority (21:23).
The religious leaders resented Jesus because He exposed their pride, hypocrisy, and self-righteousness.
They envied His great popularity with the people, especially in light of the fact that He had never sought or received official Sanhedrin certification as a rabbi.
Most of all, they were incensed at His claim to be the Messiah and the Son of God, a claim which in their eyes was blatant blasphemy
Third in three attempts by the Jewish leadership to trap Jesus.
Ø The Pharisees and Herodians on the matter of taxes (22:15-22)
Ø The Sadducees on the matter of the resurrection (22:23-33)
Ø *The Pharisees on the matter of the commandments (22:34-40)*
The Lord masterfully answers their question and in so doing instructs us concerning our service to Him.
This passage linked with Matthew 28:18-20, the Great Commission we have a definitive guide to living the Christina life.

Because He is worthy
Revelation 5:12 saying with a loud voice: "Worthy is the Lamb who was slain To receive power and riches and wisdom, And strength and honor and glory and blessing!"
Because you become like what you worship
2 Corinthians 3:18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.
Worship always precedes service!
