Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?

i think He calls it a new commandment because looking at all the other ten commandment that were revealed to Moses in Mt. Sinai, they all rotate around love for God and man, so i would say it`s a summary of the ten. And also, it because it is impossible to love what we do not see ''God'' if we cant love what we see and have around us''one another''. thank you.

Why does Jesus call Love One Another a New commandment?

Jesus calls this a new commandment because when he came he had to change the old way of relationships which could have been based on pay back of what people get from others.Jesus wanted to show that He had brought a new commandment based on Love nom matter whether we are benefiting from a relationship or not. Love is the very asis that Jesus mission to the world was based upon.The very torturing experiences He went through can only be withstood out of love.By suffering like this Jesus showed a new way of loving and relating to one another. God is Love and so is His Son Jesus Christ.It is because of the Love God had for the world that He send His son to die and redeem us.It is only through pure love thta one can sacrifice His child and that is what God did.Jesus wanted to show the world a new meaning of man`s relationship with God -a rellationship bound by love-the love without bounders-the love which is not based on materal things. This new commandment was to be for the sustainability of Jesus work in this World.If we love God with all our hearts , souls nad mind we will not sin and if we sin we will realise and repent.If we love other people we will do good to them and establish a good relationship with them and by so doing we will be Loving God and Establishing a lasting relationship with Him. Jsesus came and lived in the world and He understood the socail problems that man faced -hatred, jelouse, material desire, and many others.Jesus knew that in pursuit of these wordly material man is likely to love materail things than God and more so hurt his feloww men more. The new law of Love was a Bencmark Jesus was establisng for christians.A benchmark which can be achieved by everyone wther rich or poor.Love is priceless and all can afford it whether rich or poor.Jesus wanted this to be the sign of christianity-it was to be the workdly sign of Chistianinty which would diffrenciate Christians from non Christians-by loving all regardless of their origin, faith skin color etc. Love was and is the simple or bantch of chsitianity.It is the ID CARD FOR CHRISTIANS WHICH DOES NOT REQUIRE SCREENING TO GET-IT IS STRAIGHT FROM OUR HEARTS-HEARTS ARE A COMMON ATTRIBUTE FROM EACH OF US;LET LOVE PREVAIL IN THE WORLD-AMEN
