Sh’ma is a
Hebrew word that means "To Hear." Sh'ma (pronounced Sha Ma') is the
term used to represent what many consider to be the most important prayer of
the Jewish faith. It begins with "Hear oh Hear Israel" in Deuteronomy
6. Jesus referenced it in Luke 10:27. It is quoted several times in the other
gospels. Christians call it the “Great Commandments” because Jesus said that
loving God and people were the most important commandments.
Love the Lord your
God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and
with all your mind, and, love your neighbor as yourself. Luke 10:27
Cheryle M. Touchton's Identity With the Sh'ma
“At the core of my being, I long to be someone who loves God
so completely with her mind, heart, soul, and strength that the love of Christ
radiates from my pores and is a consuming light for everyone I meet as I travel
the country as a missionary. I want people to see love when they see me. I
don't want to feel judgment about anything people tell me and believe me – on
the road, some people confess terrible things. My job is to lead people to
Christ through the perfect forgiving love of Christ. It is the job of the Holy
Spirit to convict people of sin. May the love of Christ shine through me and
draw people to God.” Cheryle M. Touchton
