Love the foundation of Christian :15/02/2020 Daily verse

The scribe initially asks Jesus what the "most important" law is (Mark 12:28). That term is taken from the Greek root word prōtos, which means "foundational or principal," implying the law from which all others come. Jesus responds by also describing this as the "greatest" law. "Greater" is from the Greek root word megas. In this case, it refers to a law that is greater in scope and degree than any other. These laws are the basis for all the Mosaic law as well as all the prophets (Matthew 22:40). Jesus' three-part law—know God, love God, love others—isn't just the first law we need to consider, it encompasses everything God wants us to do. When a scribe challenges Jesus to choose the greatest commandment in the Mosaic law, Jesus answers with the beginning of the Shema from Deuteronomy 6:4–5: "Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one. You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might." This part of the Mosaic law encompasses the first four of the Ten Commandments and every other part of the Law that describes how the Israelites are to respond to God.
