Christians ought to be known for their love for one another. In preparing to depart, Jesus tells his disciples what he expects of them as they represent him in this world. Above all, they are to be people of love. We tend to think that we are more loving than we actually are, that loving others is easier than it actually is, and that other people’s lack of love is more of a problem than our own. Jesus’ gives us a new standard and a new motivation to be able to love as he has loved us.
