Scot McKnight, amongst others, refers to Jesus' version of the Jewish
Shema as the "Jesus Creed." These well known words of Jesus are
deeply profound. I urge you to take a minute and to say these words
out loud.
Here 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.
The second is this: Love your neighbour as yourself. There is no
commandment greater than these.
Be blessed.
Living in Grace

the great thing about the great shema is that jesus loved god and loved neighbor perfectly for us in our place. so now by his grace we are freed up to do good works of the law, that we might as luther said "thank, praise, serve, and obey him".
