“I’ve told you these things for a purpose: that my joy might be your joy, and your joy wholly mature. This is my command: Love one another the way I loved you. This is the very best way to love. Put your life on the line for your friends. You are my friends when you do the things I command you. I’m no longer calling you servants because servants don’t understand what their master is thinking and planning. No, I’ve named you friends because I’ve let you in on everything I’ve heard from the Father. John 15:11-15 MSG https://bible.com/bible/97/jhn.15.11-15.MSG
Jesus calls us friends. Friends lay down their lives for each other. Friends forgive and refuse to allow their thoughts to be polluted with lies about each other.
Jesus showed the way to love. He saw his disciples as friends and showed them His greatest treasure, His relationship with His Father.
Be a good and faithful friend! Amen!
