He doesn't just tell us things like "Love your neighbor," or "Pray for those that use you," he demonstrates those commands himself. As he hangs on the cross dying, he asks God to forgive the very people who are crucifying him. If we are to love as Jesus loved, the bar is set pretty high.

This is a truly profound meditation to sit upon at this time in the liturgical year. Your questions are also timely. Thanks for the thoughts.

Jesus is “the new commandment” embodied for his community, and he is “good news” incarnated for all persons everywhere." Amen! Thanks Michael. - Steve “This is the reason the Lord’s Supper, the Christian year, the liturgical life of the church, the preaching and teaching of scripture and the overall emphasis of the Christian community should return, again and again, to Jesus himself as he is presented in the Gospels.
