The Great Commandments
by Lew Duffey → (All Poetry by Lew Duffey)
   Rated "G" by the Author.

Jesus summarizes the entirety of God's law in two simple commands: love God, and love your neighbor. Love for our neighbor should flow naturally out of our love for God.


Poem Artwork

 
The Ten Commandments were summed in just two
The number one commandment, Love God because he first loved you
If you fulfill this first commandment it follows through
You’ll fulfill the second commandment too
That commandment is tried and true
Love your neighbor as you would want them to love you
Of all the commandments, if you fulfill these two
You will automatically fulfill the others, too
Jesus told a parable which should be harkened by me and you
And that leads me on to chapter two
 
“A man was traveling from Jerusalem to Jericho one day
When thieves robbed him and left him lay
 
A priest and a Levite both passed him by
But paid him no mind and left him lie
A Samaritan came and came to his aid
Who was this mans’ neighbor when all facts are weighed?
And who fulfilled the two comandments?
Was it the Samaritan or the first two Gents?
