“The Most Common Commandment” by C. David McKirachan
The Most Common Commandment
by C. David McKirachan
Luke 12:32-40
When we think of commandments, we fall into the assumption that it has to do with a behavior, something we should or shouldn’t do. Law. I’m not enough of a Bible geek to count or to let some machine do it for me, but ‘Be not afraid’ and its corollary ‘Be not anxious’ show up a lot more often than any other demand, law, or injunction. At least they seem to.
