We Must be Obedient to Jesus' Teachings But I don't understand how anyone can look ingenuously at the contents of the scripture and say that Jesus intends anything else for us but obedience. So my first point is simply: life in Christ has to do with obedience to his teaching. If we don't start there, we may as well forget about any distinctively Christian spirituality. Such obedience is expressed in the great words as well as the small words—the great words, "Thou shalt love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and your neighbor as yourself "; the little words, "Bless those that curse you," "Go the second mile," and so forth.
