1 John 2:7-11 (7) Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. (8) Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
(9) Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister is still in the darkness. (10) Anyone who loves their brother and sister lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. (11) But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.
First things first, what is the old command that was “the message you have heard”.
The Old Command is Lev 19:18 Love your neighbor as yourself. Since this is an old command, why is John saying it’s new?
John 13:34 “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.”
I want to think that what Jesus is getting at is simplicity. Love! Simple but not easy.
Love- The word that John uses for love throughout his letter is agapē.
Agapē love is a love that is unselfish in nature, a love that gives and expects nothing in return. It is a love that says, “I love you in spite of yourself. I love you anyway, regardless of the circumstances.” It is a love that puts the needs of the other person before your own. That is the kind of love God has for us and that we are to have for one another and for the world.
John 15:9-17
