Jesus’ death is the supreme expression of love for His disciples.  This laying down of His life out of love creates a new commandment.  Emphasis is on the human ability to love God and neighbor.  But, it’s that God first loved us.  “We love because He first loved us.”  This “first loving” of God is through the human person of Jesus.  We begin by recognizing and remembering the Son of Man who joins us in our deepest fears and sustains us through our greatest loss.
