#love one another
Two people can see things from two completely different perspectives and both be “right”. Rather than seeking to defend, perhaps seek to learn more about your own perspectives and other perspectives; broaden your scope.
[John 13:31] is the start of John’s report of the great final teaching of Jesus at the Last Supper about the future of His Church and His disciples. [It is] a great discourse of Jesus about the obligations, duties and dangers which will come upon His disciples after His own death and resurrection, [a time we also live in. So, like the Apostles,] as we approach the Birth of the Church at Pentecost, we need to listen to how Jesus envisaged His community. [This discourse immediately] gives the essentials. At the head of the Christian community stands [Christ,] the glorified Son of Man, in Whom God is glorified. But this is no distant figurehead, for He will come to be present among His disciples. And how? In the love which His disciples show for one another. One is reminded of the legend about the aged Saint John, wheeled into the church at Ephesus. When asked for the message of Jesus, all he would say was, ‘My little children, love one another.’
