Jesus actually gave us the cheat sheet: love God, love your neighbor, mercy over sacrifice. Somehow we turned that into 2,000 years of arguing about everything except those three things. Christianity may be the only religion where the founder says, “Here’s what matters most,” and half the followers respond, “Great, but what’s Paul’s position on this?”
Great! Also Mt 23.23 - justice, mercy and faith - from what I got told off for calling Jesus' rant in an academic essay!

Matthew 25:31-46. Whatever you do unto the least of these you do also unto me. Some of the last words Jesus spoke.
