A New Commandment: Love One Another

Jesus makes his own self-giving love the standard.

Jesus commands a distinct, recognisable love: the community is to love as he loved, making love both ethic and witness.

Scripture

John 13:34-35 John 15:12-13
John 13:34-35

34 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, just like I have loved you; that you also love one another.

35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

John 15:12-13

12 "This is my commandment, that you love one another, even as I have loved you.

13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.
