On the night in which we was betrayed, Jesus gave a new commandment rooted in the new covenant: "Love one another, as I have loved you." The love one another part is not new. What makes it new is the addition of "as I have loved you." How exactly has Jesus loved us, and what does that mean for our love for our neighbours?

Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. (John 10:25-28, ESV)

Humanity is torn down to the ground at the cross. We are revealed to be the sinners we are. Cowards, like the disciples. Helpless, like the women on Golgotha. Indifferent, like the crowds. Self-righteous, like the religious leaders. Cruel and callous, like Pilate and the soldiers. A good and all powerful God should fix this. But “fix” means to start over. Everything must die. Including God's Son.
