Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
because we have to show love to our fellow brothers and sisters as He also did to us, we have to love one another for aour own sake and for our own souls. If not, there will be no peace.

I did not understand in John 21:7, where Jesus says Tend my sheep. to Simon Peter. What does he mean by that?

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
Love is something we can all learn, if not there is soo much hatred and evilness in the world. We all learn to help one another out in the hardest of times and we can overcome many things with love. Kinda like the Two heads are better than one deal. If we only have love just for ourselves we won`t get far. Selfishness does nothing but condemn us, helping each other out opens doors to meeting new and wonderful people. Like my mom always says Today me, tomorrow it might be you Help out and do not expect anything in return, that is the most selfish thing you can do, for you are not even doing it out of rightousness. When you least expect it you might be caught in a similar position where you might need help and how beautiful it is when people offer to lend a helping hand with no cost but out of love.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
Yes that new commandment of laving one another is challenging me especially in the matter of loving people who hurt us. It is a great and hard sacrifice that a human being can make loving someone who is able even to kill you or to spread out even your whole family, I thank God for that as I`m able to love who hurts me. As I know that all my sins had been forgiven, i tried to forgive others and show them love. For example someone can insult me without any reason and i triy to look for a better time to offer whatever i can get at that time. This is a better way to live peacefully with the groly of our God.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
I can say yes. Love One Another is a new commandment because when he came to the earth, at his birth, everything became new. I cansay even that people were loving one another but people didi not know the real love from Jesus and His father. They did without knowing the source and the real fountain of that love. When Jesus came living with human beings, they came to understand more and saw things in new ways. The 1Corinthians10:24, defines well what is love. Those lines state that the love is shown when a person is seeking for the benefit of his/her fellow but not for his/her own benefit. Loving someonelse is being and feeling the abaility to sacrifice even your life for him or her. True love is not light feelings is making oneself in action for saving the life or the hard situation of a fellow, a neighbour, a friend, a vulnerable person without expecting a price or any gift. It is doing a charitable work, rendering a non profit favour especially for people unable to give you back. God will look at what you have done for others, as Jesus loved me until he died for me, that shows how much i` m a very important creature in front of Him so why could`i not show my true love, a noncondition love to others... I like this commandment because it is challenging me so much

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
In addition to the 10 commandments that the Lord gave Moses to give to the people, He proclaimed `Love One Another` as a new commandment because this is the most important & above all other commandments. Even if we keep all the other commandments but we dont have love for our fellow beings in our heart, then we could never please the Lord.
