Acerca de esta escucha

 I WOULD like to make this letter to you a short and joyous sermon. My text contains only two words, but I believe them to be the sweetest two words that human ear ever heard. They are: “Thou shalt.” It is the old way of saying you must. I presume you do not at all like “must,” but I want to tell you that everything depends upon how, or where, the “must” is used. Some words are sweet or bitter, according to how they are employed. The word “must” is generally used in trying to compel one to do something that he dislikes; but sometimes it is employed to encourage a person to attempt what he wishes to do but fears he can-not, and then it is quite different. Suppose some great person was about to hold a grand reception in your town. You heard about it, and knew it would be a delightful affair. It would be the joy of your life to attend, but you had not been invited. Perhaps you had reason to believe you would not receive an invitation, either because you were not acquainted with the person giving the reception, or did not think your social standing sufficiently high, or fancied you had given offense in some way. Then if you should receive through the mail a formal printed invitation, you might think it was a mistake — that it was not intended for you. But if it was a written one, and bore your name at the head, it would delight you; and the more strongly the letter was worded, the more it would interest you. If it said, “You must come, for we need you to complete the joy of the occasion,” I am sure you would think all the more of it. Of course you know what follows the two words of my text: “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength” (Mark 12:30). There are many sorts of invitations, but none so attractive as an invitation to love. And this is the strongest possible one of that kind, for it is an invitation to love with all your being. It shows you how the One who gives it feels. To love with all your being must mean to be happy with all your being. This invitation is called a commandment. The words were first spoken by God to Moses, and he was to tell them to the Jews as God’s message to them. Afterwards when Jesus was asked by some of the Jews what was the greatest commandment of their law, He repeated this one, saying it was the greatest of all. Is not this a strange sort of commandment? Think for a minute. You are accustomed to having persons bid you do things that you do not wish to, but this is an injunction to do something you naturally most wish to do. But it is truly like all of God’s commandments. God is love, and Love’s commandments are the opposite of those to which we are accustomed. People misunderstand God’s commands because they misunderstand His loving nature; they misunderstand His nature because it is so unlike what their own seems to be. People will never love because you say they must. You cannot compel another to love you, and you cannot make yourself love any one; yet you never love except as you feel that you must. True love always calls for love in return. The heart must respond when it’ knows that true love is calling it. This it cannot help doing. Love does not con¬sider the person; it thinks of the heart alone, for the heart is the real person. But we are apt to judge ourselves unworthy of true love. We may either think that the love is not genuine, or that there is some mistake about it.
