#14 His Next Verse: What is the most important commandment?

September 5, 2007 on 9:20 am | In His First Bible, His Next Verse |

Part of the Bible translation process is testing the translated texts in several Dai locations. This was done recently for the first set of Bible texts and very good feedback was given. ”They can understand and follow the stories well. I think our materials really get into some people’s hearts. One guy in Mg even asked if he can keep the copy though he can’t read it by himself. Some really agreed along with the texts especially those guys who have ministry in the temple but they are not monks. They like the text a lot especially the great commandment from Matt 22:34-40”.

Lord, as we ponder the question, “What is the most important commandment?” may we not just know it in our heads, but live it in our choices. May we and the Shan Dai truly “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, all your soul and all your mind…and love your neighbor as yourself.” (From Matt 22:34-40)
Thank you for your prayers for the Shan Dai as Bible translation continues.
