If you were with Jesus, what would you ask for?

The scribe in today’s Gospel asked Jesus what is the greatest commandment. Why did he ask this? Was is for knowledge or justification in his life? If you were with Jesus, what would you ask for? Would you ask for something for yourself? Or like Solomon asked for wisdom to lead God’s people. Would you ask for the pain to be taken away? Or would you hear Jesus say help me to carry the cross of your sinfulness? Would you ask for endurance? Or maybe like Job ask for mercy if it be God’s will? Would you ask how to pray like Jesus’ disciples did when he taught them the Lord’s Prayer. What do you really want from the Lord?
