With these words, Jesus combines the supreme mandate of the Old Testament and the essence of His teaching.
Jesus shows us that the intentions of our hearts are the first and foremost thing that should guide us in all things.
If the intention within us is focused on the love of God and neighbor, we too can come closer to the Kingdom of God.
We need to love and act accordingly.
Are we correctly oriented and ready to act?
