    This sermon explores Jesus' response to the question about the greatest commandment, emphasizing the importance of loving God and one's neighbor, and how these two commandments encapsulate all others.

    The occasion and context: A Jewish expert on the Torah—the Law—asked Jesus which was the most important commandment, and at the time there were a lot to choose from… The Ten Commandments, of course, which we’ve all heard of before.
