Jesus gave insight into the full human experience in worship of God when He was asked about the greatest commandment. In showing us how man is to worship with the whole person He gives us the following parts of the human make-up:
He uses the Biblical term "heart" to describe the human trait of volition, with our response being - "what we choose"; our will, if you please.
Then He uses the word "soul" to describe the human trait of emotion, with our human response being - "what we feel".
The word "mind" is next in His discussion, having to do with the intellect, with our response being - "what we think".
Lastly, the term "strength" is used, having to do with the physical; therefore, what we actually do.
Jesus uses these terms to assist us in embracing the full range of human experience in worship. His invitation is for us to worship God encompassing all that it means to be a human being. Nothing is left out. It is "all that we are" to His glory in worship. mjm
