 | Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment? |
Well, after Jesus came into this world, everything turned on to new, that simple is the answer. New testament, New world, New creation, New covenant...so why not new commandment? When Jesus comes into us, the old goes away and see everything becomes new. We can read this in 2 Corinthians 5: 17. Jesus came to save us from our sins and gave us only two simple commandments, whereas in the Old Testament we find ten. As we all know, the 2 commandments Jesus gave mankind are `You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.` This is the great and foremost commandment. And a second is like it, `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.` On these two commandments depend the whole Law and the Prophets. - Matt 22:37. When we read these two commndments and then move on to the old commandments, we see that the first 3 commandments which God gave to mankind, come into the 1st commandment which Jesus gave to mankind. And the next 7 commandments, which God gave to the mankind, come into the 2nd commandment which Jesus gave to the mankind. Jesus condensed the 10 commandments into 2 commandments. Hence a new commandment arose of loving one another. Loving one another includes respecting and loving our parents...; not killing others through our words or actions, not aborting children; not committing adultery...; not stealing others peace, happiness, fame, joy, money, ..etc; not going to the court against others, not hating them, not cursing them, not hurting them...; not coveting neighbour`s wife or any other relation.....; not coveting neighbour`s goods... So let`s understand this new commandment, Jesus has given us and follow it in our lives. Love our brothers and sisters and forgive them. By: Lavina Noronha Category: Love One Another - Jesus |
