He begins, however, not with the commandment but with a statement. "Listen Israel, the Lord your God, the Lord is one." An emphasis on the fact that he is the only God and reminder that the tendency of every heart is to create idol after idol?
Whatever else one may say about this statement, Christ is certainly pointing out that any commandment has authority only if it is grounded in the character of God the Father.
