Why is this a new command

Christ in the upper room
after Satan left
asking them to love
a fateful new command

Why is this a new command
the law says to love
to love our sovereign God
our neighbors as ourselves

Context what this is about
from whom the command spoken
the Son of God, the Lamb
on the night of his betrayal
