It's nice to have something complex distilled down to something simple. Give it to me in a nutshell, you might say, with the idea being that the essentials have been extracted and presented in a clear and concise way.--Jesus does that for the Pharisees in today's passage. They've made life and living by the law an impossibly complex task. Then, almost without knowing it, they get God's law in a nutshell. All the complexity boiled down into a two-fold strategy for spiritual growth. It was true then and it's true today - these are words to live by.
