Jesus’ command to love one another was first heard as instruction within the community of believers, to develop tight bonds of care and loyalty among Jesus’ followers. That’s still an important aspect of faith. But the apostles soon discovered that the good news extended beyond the original boundaries, and their circle of love was expanded to people they had not related to before – Gentiles, people from other countries, folks very different from them. This is still our challenge, to follow Christ into the world, and to imagine the new heaven and earth encompassing all his people.
