A scribe put Jesus on the spot by asking for the singular greatest commandment, but Jesus corrects the question by highlighting two commandments (love for God and love for neighbor). In so doing, Jesus is saying that these two commandments are distinguishable, yet inseparable. Therefore, we will be challenged in both directions this Sunday. We cannot say we love God and yet hate our brother. We also cannot so focus on loving others that we make them an idol and forget the supreme importance of loving God with everything we have.
