Jesus loves His disciples (13:1). As He sees His impending arrest, trials, and crucifixion, Jesus prepares His disciples for the period of separation they will experience. Jesus will head to the cross and thereafter ascend into heaven. With a telescoping viewpoint, Jesus reveals this twofold destination to which He was going. With this mind, Jesus also prepares His disciples with His prescription for what they are to occupy themselves with while they await His return (14:3). They are to love one another. This is truly a new commandment for the new covenant people in the new church age. This stunning new commandment of Jesus is what we are to fill our lives with. May the Holy Spirit teach us to hold fast to these marching orders of our Lord and make them our greatest aim in life as we await the Savior who is coming again for us.
