Reply to "The Greatest Commandment - Miscellaneous Lesson Ideas"

Neil MacQueenWebmaster and Writer Supporting Member!

The original "teal" graphic of the Great Commandment below comes from Golf Course Road COC in Midland Texas. They organized their workshop design and activities around the ideas of: Heart (feeling), Soul (mystery, Holy Spirit), Mind ( head knowledge), Strength (Service).

I created a "blue" version of the graphic and also changed the scripture citation to Luke 10:27 (which the words in the graphic are actually quoting).

Interestingly, Deuteronomy 6:5, the original version of the Great Commandment, does not include the word "mind." The word "mind" was added in the 3rd Century B.C. by Jewish translators translating the Hebrew Bible into Greek (a version known as the Septuagint). Early Christians, including Mark and Luke, used that Greek version, and that's how "mind" got into the Jesus quote we today know as "The Great Commandment."
