Weird, I thought Jesus was about feeding the hungry.
Actually, He was "about" redeeming sinners from the consequences of their sins. He didn't come to the earth to feed people; He came to die in the place of guilty sinners, so that they might receive eternal life. All the other stuff that He did (healing, exorcisms, raising the dead and feeding the multitudes) were done in service to the work that He was "about", so that the people might believe that He really was who He said He was.
Thanks for asking! 
I'm no biblical scholar, but wasn't his greatest commandant love one another as I have loved you? I seem to recall that.
You're close. That is the second greatest commandment.
From Matt. 22:34-40, "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.”
As you can see, Jesus was not "about" making commandments. But, when He was pressed for an answer to the question (which was meant to trap Him), He gave an answer: The greatest commandment is to love God. If you look in your Bible, you'll see that- right after being asked that question- Jesus asked THEM (the Pharisees) a question: "While the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them, “What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?” By asking them this question, Jesus was trying to (once again) point them to His real purpose (i.e. "What He was about"): which was to be the promised Savior ("Messiah"), who would suffer and die in the place of sinners, so that they might be forgiven and saved. That's what Jesus was "about".

The principal at my son's school noticed, on the 2nd to last day of school, that other kids were picking through his lunch box and stealing his favorite things in there. It's a snowbally thing - he doesn't mind sharing stuff with his "best" friend, but his "best" friend has friends too and they'll help themselves...
When we arrived to pick the kids up that day, my oldest was in the principals office. She told us what had happened at lunch that day, then had the gaul to tell us that our son needs to speak up more and that he should join the "Boys Club" to learn confidence. "This wouldn't happen if he had the confidence to stand up."
No joke.

Not entirely related, but i'm losing track of up and down...
put special cupcakes in his lunch with special frosting (to help with his (wink wink) special problem... the bullies will certainly grab chocolate frosted cupcakes and spend the rest of the day fighting dehydration as their lunches race through their systems.
Man you're freaking evil!!!
Great idea though.
its been a blessing and a curse.

If they steal the "poison" that was intended to help my sons constipation and end up with a case of the screaming shits as a result...you gonna convict on that? I would tell the prosecutor to get bent if I was on that jury.
Gotcha.
