Jesus gives us a “new” commandment, and yet it looks much like the old. Throughout the Old Testament, there are references to loving God and loving neighbor. The act of loving is not new. What is new is that love is no longer something we do, it is something we are. We love not because we are told to love. We love not because it is our duty. We love because love is the expression of our new nature.
