Love one another. Jesus’ command sounds simple and straightforward but sound so out of place spoken on the last night of Jesus’ life, a night of hate, betrayal, rejection. But true love is defined and demonstrated by God.

For Jesus, love is not merely feeling, but commitment and action. He didn’t just speak love, He did love. For Jesus love was sacrifice – self-giving for the unworthy. Jesus' love comes from Himself and is demonstrated on the cross. It is a creative love, evoking in His followers the same kind of unselfish, sacrificial love.
