Text: John 13:34 “A new commandment I give unto you, that ye love one another; AS I HAVE LOVED YOU, that ye also love one another.” Introduction Segregation, tribalism and ethnic clashes are rampant in our society today. We are divided than ever before. The love is overtaken by hatred. Individualism is being promoted over collective responsibility and peaceful co-existence. Jesus admonished His disciples on the need to love, even when the songs of the day is hatred. Disciples were faced with persecution and rejection as a result of their faith from the Roman Government, but Jesus preaches love and peace and encouraged them to love one another.
