Sixth Sunday of Easter
Ref lection on the Gospel
By Fr. Mark Escobar, C.S.
Jesus’ Commandment to Love One Another
“Love one another as I love you. No one has greater
love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.
You are my friends if you do what I command you.”
I remember as a young student when our school calendar has only days in a row before we mark the summer
recess. It was a great deal of thumbing through the heart
of our annual sojourn in the countryside; full of learning
and growth especially in relationships. Good works and
kindnesses of my loved ones, playmates, and family relations were considered of legendary proportions. Of
course there were some hurdles, twists and turns, trials
and tribulations that came along the way but, those experiences shaped my perspective in life, along with that language about friendship as I took my journey with many
steps.
If we come to think of friendship as Jesus shows in
today’s gospel, there is a fundamental connection with
love. In the New Testament (NT) a “friend” is immediately understood as “one who loves.” We know Jesus
gave everything to his friends. He told them about the
reign of God and his knowledge of God, his own life and
his vision for humanity. He loved without counting the
cost and he made it possible for us to live a life of friendship that would transform us to holiness; to a life of discipleship.
Perhaps our concept of friendship is associated within
the secular aspect of our lives. But the key passage in
John’s gospel is very important to keep in mind how the
theology of friendship gets its prominence in relationship
with God and one another. Jesus, the model of friendship,
calls his disciples to love as he has loved. This is his
commandment, his last will and testament.
Friendship in the Greek and Roman cultures was a
great deal of studies as this had taken shape the life of the
early Church and the NT writings. Classical philosophers
embarked on that context combining love and friendship
as inextricably linked to one another. It was like a very
important subject and at the same time the language widely spoken with a sense of sacrifice; with many deeds of
blood and battles and deaths for the sake of friends as
described by Lucian, a Hellenistic philosopher and storyteller; with a gift of one’s life for one’s friends and the use
of frank and open speech.
Viewed in this light, we have seen some key passages
from John’s gospel how Jesus depicted himself in an act
of friendship ‘who lays down his life for the sheep
(10:11).’ He focused himself in a metaphorical allusion
as the Good Shepherd (10:11-18), the gate (10:1-2) and
then on the sheepfold (10:3-5). He talked about himself,
about the love that is the flesh and blood of friendship.
He said, “For this reason the Father loves me, because I
lay down my life in order to take it up again. No one
takes it from me, but I lay it down on my own accord” (Jn
10:17-18a).
