And Jesus is the Way.
He leads us.
He gave us His commandments.

And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. Mark 12:30-31
And He provides the perfect example of these.
His life is our standard and inspiration.
Praise God!
