The Center of All Human Life

There's a question most of us rarely stop long enough to ask: What is most important? What is life actually for?
In this week's sermon from Mark 12:28–34, we meet a scribe who does something quietly remarkable — he walks through a crowd of religious leaders asking trap questions and political questions, and he asks the one that actually matters: "Which commandment is the most important of all?"
Jesus answers with the Shema, the ancient confession of faith from Deuteronomy 6, and with it, He reveals the true center around which all of human life was designed to orbit: wholehearted love for God that overflows into embodied love for neighbor.
But this sermon isn't just about identifying the right answer. It's about something much deeper — the honest confession that most of us have spent enormous energy building our lives around things that are real but not ultimate. We've taken secondary things and made them central. And in doing so, we've quietly lost our way.
