A New Commandment and a New Promise 5g4e5e

  "A New Commandment I give you:  Love one another.   As I have loved you, love one another." How can Jesus command love, something seemingly impossible to command?   And what might it mean to love others as Jesus has loved us? To get at these questions, we look at the setting of Jesus giving this new commandment, namely, when he washes the disciple's feet.  As we ponder this act of service, we discover not only the depth of challenge in Jesus words to love as he loved, but also the word of grace and promise contained in them.
