If a situation occurs where a very efficient and influential missionary, involved in a big mission,should lay down his life for a drug addict who is worthless for living, so should the missionary sacrifice his own life for such person?

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
In the Old Testament, anyone who commits sin was punished and people commiting adultery were stoned. The approach of the people was `an eye a for an eye and a tooth for a tooth`, People hardly learn to love one another. But when Jesus came into this world, He introduced a new principle i.e. to love one another. Before the coming of Jesus, people were taught to love their neighbour and hate their enemies but Jesus modified the rule into forgiving and loving their own enemies, and praying for them` which was totally a new commandment.No one knew this commandment or followed this commandment, so Jesu even set us an example on the cross by forgiving and praying for those who presecuted Him.

Jesus call `Love one another` a New Commandment
Jesus called ?Love one another? a New Commandment to emphasis the Love we should have for one another. As Christians our conduct is proof of whether we love each other, and loving each other is proof that we belong to Christ.

To show love, care and share about the love of God. As Jesus shared with His diciples and people at that time. We too, to show the love, care etc with all our heart. Do not expect a reward from this.The reward shall be given to you by the Heavenly Father.

Love one another - Love your neighbour as yourself - This is not an easy thing to read when we see all around how naughty people can be, when we see war, child abuse, crimes etc.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
I think Jesus called `Love one another` a new commandment as perhaps before he came, there was no real love on the earth. People were not loving each other as he wanted them to do so. It was only the law `if someone hurt you then just do the same`. I suppose people were not loving and forgiving others like Jesus wanted them to do.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?
I think the disciples and the people were familiar with The 10 commandments given by God thru Moses. Jesus wanted them to know how critical LOVE is in living our everyday lives. So this should be added to the list to ensure that it was followed. Loving one another is a requirement of every Christian. But this is impossible if we do not first LOVE God with all our being and then love ourselves. Then we are able to transfer the actions and thoughts of love to others.

If we do not treat each other with love, then we are not living up to his standard.
