Mark 12:28 - 44

Jesus continues to amaze the religious leaders as He anwers their questions accurately and without reference to other teachers.  He states that the greatest commandments are to love the one true God with all ones being, and to love one's neighbor as one's self.  A scribe accurately discerns how true this is, and Jesus tells him he is not far from the kingdom.

How many people are like that scribe today?  They have an understanding, an awareness of the deep truths of God and His kingdom, yet have still not entered into it.  What a precarious place they occupy - enough knowledge to make an informed decision but not enough wisdom to make the correct decision.
