The greatest commandment

Matthew
22:36-40  “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?”
Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’  This is the first and greatest commandment.  And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” 

Jesus's wisdom is so impressive.  Today, I just want to highlight his response to the Pharisees regarding the most important law.  He summed it up so nicely, and it seems so obvious, but would we have known this to be the truth if it wasn't recorded for us?
