The Greatest Commandment | Matthew 22:34-46 with Dr. Steven Paulson

What happens when Jesus pits the law against the gospel? 

Dr. Steven Paulson, Luther House of Study’s Director of Lutheran Theology, joins Scripture First to discuss this week’s lectionary text: Matthew 22:34-46, or the passage where Jesus explains the greatest commandment as the law and introduces a new world that operates in the Messiah. 

In the conversation Kiri, Adam, and Mason ask: 

• How is the law essential to understanding the gospel? 
• Why won’t we do the law if we know what to do? 
• How do we know if we’re loving God and our neighbors correctly?
