Jesus said, “A new commandment I give you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you must also love one another.”

John 13:34

After washing the apostles feet at the Last Supper, Jesus tells the apostles he is giving them a new commandment: to love one another. The command to love others is not a new commandment. We find it in Leviticus. The new command is a whole new level of love. We are to love people as Jesus has loved us. That’s a pretty high standard, in fact an impossible standard on our own power. It is why we need God’s grace and God’s power t to love others. 

Pray today for God’s power to love people as Jesus loved you.
