5-30-2015-LOVE IS HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL
MATTHEW 22: 36-40 =
MASTER WHICH IS THE GREATEST COMMANDMENT IN THE LAW? JESUS SAID TO HIM, YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR ELOHIM, (VERTICAL LOVE), WITH ALL YOUR HEART AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND. THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT. AND THE SECOND IS LIKE UNTO IT, YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR, (HORIZONTAL LOVE), AS YOURSELF. ON THESE TWO COMMANDMENTS HANGS ALL THE LAW, THE TORAH AND THE PROPHETS.
"REMARKS"
THESE SCRIPTURES DECLARE THE TRUTH AND THE HORIZONTAL AND THE VERTICAL LOVE THAT WE ALL NEED TO RESPOND TO.
WHEN OUR LOVE IS ONLY FOR OURSELVES, IT IS A LOVE THAT IS TAINTED WITH SELFISHNESS AND GREED. WHEN WE SHARE OUR LOVE WE GAIN BLESSINGS FROM ABOVE. WHEN WE RESERVE LOVE WITHIN OURSELVES, WE CUT SHORT THE FULL BLESSING WE COULD HAVE RECEIVED IF WE WOULD SHARE OUR LOVE WITH YAH'WEH, AND WITH OTHERS IN THIS WORLD.
NEIGHBOR IS DEFINED AS A FELLOW MAN.
THAT MEANS ANYONE, AND ANYWHERE, AND ANYTIME, HORIZONTAL LOVE SHOULD BE EXHIBITED TO ALL MEN.
VERTICAL LOVE IS DEMANDED BY YAH'WEH, FOR ALL OF US TO EXHIBIT ESPECIALLY IN OUR PRIVATE TIME IN OUR PRAYER CLOSET OR, SOME PLACE VERY PRIVATE AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILIES DISTRACTIONS.
THE SAME LOVE IS EXHIBITED ON BEHALF OF YAH'WEH, AND JESUS, YAH'SHUA, AS WE REPRESENT AMBASSADORS FOR THE CHRIST, THE MESSIAH, AND WE SHOW THAT LOVE WITH OUR UNDYING LOVE FOR OUR YAH'WEH, AND OUR MASTER AND LORD AND SAVIOR, JESUS, YAH'SHUA, IN HOW WE SHARE THAT LOVE WITH OUR FELLOWMAN IN THIS WORLD.
