Okay – I guess over all these years – such a day, does come along – I can find nothing positive to say about what Selwyn has written.
However, I would like to say that John 13:34, is a favourite verse of mine: “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.”
It’s a clarification of the golden rule – ‘to love others as you would like to them to love you’ – but, our understanding of love is flawed. Consequently, we need a perfect example of love, to follow – Jesus, by His actions, gives us that example. In this aspect it is a totally new commandment - this commandment is to replace the human interpretation of ‘love your neighbour’. To understand the difference, requires the moulding of our heart into a new shape by the hands of the Holy Spirit.
