Show THE MASTER'S NEW COMMANDMENT "This is my commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you. "(John 15: A 12) new command I give you: Love another love one one I have loved you, so you much another." (John 13: 34) as lawyer has come to Jesus trying to trick Him and asked, What is the greatest A commandment? Jesus answered and love the Lord your God with all your soul, and your mind, and said, "You are to your body. This is the first and great commandment. The second is like unto it, "Love your neighbor yourself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22: 3640) In other words, some of the " 1 as what you ought to do to God and the others are commandments are relationship what you are expected to do toward you fellow human beings. The apostle put it, in you cannot claim to love God whom you have never seen and do not love one another that you it to the Romans see every day. Paul put Loves does no (13: 18), wrong to his neighbor. Therefore love the fulfillment of the Law." These two law are what some is of us call the summary of the decalogue. If you keep these two law, you will keep and not break any of the other commandments. For by loving God with all that you have, obey all that He said and by loving your name as yourself you will do them you no harm. Now as Jesus is about to 2 depart, He takes us one step further. Not the commands that gives us a new given were of old but He commandment. "This is commandment, That ye love one another, as I have loved you." He serves my notice that He will followers for has told His a only be little while with his longer. disciples that "where He I go ye This type of love had not been demonstrated before. For nobody cannot come. had love completely. Self love is assumed and is the standard for love of others. Christ so loved others that He willing abandoned and sacrificed Himself altogether. The new principles is to love others unto death. As Jesus was leaving, he gave in his dying moments proper instructions, orders, and dying injunctions. You are 3 to do greater things than I have done. Not love one another as you love yourself but another the way Jesus loved them in deed and in truth. Maybe that love one what Paul meant when he wrote, "Love coves a multitude, covers all sin." |
