Wow a homo connection wow... We were asking this question because it's a real serious commandment. My Father tried everything with us and himself. And it's like he became who he is at that moment. By saying I understand now love is all that ever will matter... For he beat Isreal all day long, He beat down nations who rose up against him, He suffered and suffered all who broke his commandments.... But as his departure drew near he knew... And understood and became completed.. And resolved all enmity all strife making one new man.. Jehovah's life story is the only one worth hearing about. Here lies our true purpose, to listen and understand him, who he is and how he came to be...We mankind have spent years self seeking and coming up empty and rant and rave above for a while and die. But God is from generation to generation perfecting all things with anticipation. To show all his loving kindness to us who believe, who have suffered here, who have been killed, cheated in this... his world

every physique who's telling somebody they're incorrect for no forgiving a serious crime that grew to become into committed against them is obviously screwed up interior the pinnacle. Yeah forgiveness is great for the two the sufferer and the attacker, regardless of the undeniable fact that that's no longer something which would be or must be compelled. It has to return from interior, and which could in straight forward terms take place while the guy takes as lots time to settle for the anger as he or she desires. some human beings can pass previous this in one day, others can in no way pass previous it in any respect. the two way, that's as much as them, that's no longer for somebody else to rigidity them to forgive.

“By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”—JOHN 13:35.
“LITTLE children.” (John 13:33) With that tender expression, Jesus addressed his apostles on the evening before his death. We have no record in the Gospel accounts that Jesus had ever before used this compassionate expression in speaking to them. On that special night, however, he was moved to use this affectionate address to convey the deep love he felt for his followers. In fact, Jesus spoke of love some 30 times that night. Why did he give such emphasis to this quality?
Jesus explained why love is so important. “By this,” he said, “all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.” (John 13:35; 15:12, 17) Being a follower of Christ goes hand in hand with showing brotherly love. True Christians are identified, not by a peculiar form of dress or by some unusual customs, but by the warm and tender love they show to one another. Having this outstanding kind of love is the second of the three principal requirements of a disciple of Christ mentioned at the start of the preceding article. What will help us to continue to meet this requirement?

Here is the biblical definition of love and how we are to love one another.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 "Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up; 5 does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil; 6 does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth; 7 bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things."

The main identifying quality by which true Christians are recognized is the outstanding love they have toward one another. “By this,” Jesus said, “all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves.”—Joh 13:35

John was in a good position to discuss love because he apparently was a special recipient of Jesus’ love and affection. John was one of the three apostles more intimately associated with Jesus throughout his public ministry. He was the one who reclined next to Jesus at the last Passover, when the Lord’s Evening Meal was instituted. He was known as the ‘disciple that Jesus loved.’ (John 13:23; 19:25-27; 21:7, 20) So the apostle John had a good background on which to draw when writing about this Christian quality of love, and he it was who recorded the words of Jesus when he told his disciples about the ‘new commandment’.

But why did Jesus say that this was to be a “new commandment”? Jesus was addressing his disciples, who were all part of the Jewish nation. Under the Mosaic law the Jews were to love their fellowman as themselves. For example, at Leviticus 19:18 the Law said: “You must not take vengeance nor have a grudge against the sons of your people; and you must love your fellow as yourself.” In fact, in his teaching, Jesus called attention to this command in the Law when he said: “The second [commandment], like it, is this, ‘You must love your neighbor as yourself.’”—Matt. 22:39.

The Mosaic law called for neighbor love, not for self-sacrificing love based on principle. Jesus, however, when giving his followers a “new commandment,” was pointing out that they were to be identified by self-sacrificing love, for he added: “Just as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” Jesus’ love was a self-sacrificing love based on principle, that is, agápē love. He was willing to go to the point of giving even his own life in behalf of his disciples. He spent the years of his public ministry doing good for his fellowman, especially in teaching and helping people in a spiritual way.

Therefore his disciples should do the same, not holding back while waiting for an occasion to arise that might dictate the need to do good for one’s fellowman. Rather, Christians should take the initiative and work actively for the good of their fellowman, especially following Jesus’ example in teaching and preaching, thereby working for the spiritual good and welfare of others. But, above all, Jesus’ disciples were to have love for one another. So they were to be outstanding in their love among themselves. It should be something that would readily identify them as different from people of the world in general.

The love Jesus speaks of is the relationship between people that exposes inperfections and allows the relationship anyway. Like I have a friend who drinks too much beer and I tell him so and we are still friends, he also hates my beard and tells me, but like him,I have justified my preferance, how can we let such small differences stand between us is what Jesus was talking about.

This is the great "mandate" in Latin - the New Commandment. This is from the Gospel read on "Maundy (from the Latin "Mandate") Thursday". It means by willing to be a servant, and to wash one anothers feet (a symbol of humility and willingness to die to yourself) - you show the world that you are Christ's disciple.

Jesus was an example and teacher. He wants us to serve each other. Unbelievers will see our works before they hear our verbal testimony.
