The Two Great Commandments and What They Mean For Our Lives

Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?" Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."


Jesus was asked to give one commandment, and he gave two. There is a link, but what is he trying to say to us?

Let us discuss; this is something I've been thinking a lot about lately and could use some more thoughts.
