Love One Another

The night before Jesus was crucified, he issued a new commandment to his disciples. In John 13:34 He said, “Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” This is not a new statement from the Bible, it was also mentioned in Leviticus 19:18,34 so why is this a “new” commandment?

It meant that there should now be a new relationship, Christians are part of a family, not just neighbors. It meant that there was a new standard being put down, Jesus had raised the bar and Christians were to love as Jesus had loved. It meant that there would be a new result, when nonbelievers would witness the love Christians had for one another they would realize that they were followers of Jesus.

So, love one another and treat each other with respect. Show others that you are living a life worth living.
