Matthew 22:34-40:
It was not uncommon for Jewish teachers to be asked to summarize the law. A Pharisee who is a lawyer, asks Jesus to do just that. Jesus’ summary draws on Scripture, from Deuteronomy and Leviticus, commands to love God and neighbor. These together are the greatest, Jesus says and are the heart of God’s law.
I know human law is flawed. I pray to understand and live by your low, O God.
