You can sum up his two greatest messages with three words.
Forgive.
Judge not.

Actually Jesus had a different answer to the question.
Matthew 22:34-45 (New International Version)
34Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. 35One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question:
36"Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"
37Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind."
38This is the first and greatest commandment.
39And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' 40All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

Really?
I thought it was Love God, and then love others. (simplified/paraphrased)
Or am I misinterpreting what He said when He said “Upon these two hangs all the Law and the Prophets”?

You can sum up his two greatest messages with three words.Or one verse:
John 6:27-29
27. Do not work for food that spoils, but for food that endures to eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. On him God the Father has placed his seal of approval."
28. Then they asked him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
29. Jesus answered, "The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent."

I believe Jesus said that His two greatest messages were "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your mind" and "Love your neighbor as yourself."
LOve you, my neighbor :-)
