    “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you,” John 13:34 Love – Why does Yeshua say this is a new commandment? Doesn’t the Torah teach us to love one another? Isn’t that the point of loving your neighbor? What makes this particular statement so unique?…
