Let’s put this all together now: As a normal Jew, spiritual formation for Jesus begins with the Shema of Judaism. But Jesus revises the Shema in two ways: loving others is added to loving God, and loving God is understood as following Jesus.

epabonhas quoted5 years ago
Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one.
Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your mind, and with all your strength.” [So far, so good; this is Deuteronomy. 6:4–5.]
[And now Jesus adds a verse from Leviticus. 19:18.]
The second is this: “Love your neighbor as yourself.”
There is no commandment greater than these.
