Sermon for May 24, 2026
A reflection on John 14:15: “If ye love me, keep my commandments.” Jesus gathers up all 613 commandments of the law into two: love God with all your heart, soul, and mind, and love your neighbor as yourself. St. Paul and St. John show us what love means, for God showed His love in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us; and the parable of the good Samaritan shows us who our neighbor is. Keeping Christ’s commandments matters most when we are tired, busy, or in a foul mood, and the Holy Ghost offers us everything we need to live this life.
