The most important one,' answered Jesus, 'is this: Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' This is the Shema, foundational prayer of Judaism.
Jesus affirms and recommits to the ancient call: listen, God is one, love God with everything you have. Not multiple competing loyalties. Not hedged commitment. Everything.
