I Am A Friend of God!

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 15:13-15 MSG)

How AWESOME is the fact that Jesus actually calls us "FRIENDS"? How could we not want to honor one of our friends. But...Jesus is s different type of friend. 

1. Jesus is always there...day or night (not like our earthly friends who put limits on their "availability" to us)
2. Jesus will never leave you or forsake you (not like our earthly friends who "when the going gets tough, the tough get going...in the other direction)
3. Jesus offer living waters and the bread of life (OK...we might have some friends that can REALLY cook but how can anything compare to what Jesus offers...besides we usually have to invite our earthly friend to our house for a meal as payment to them for their hospitality...Jesus just says "come")
4. Jesus laid down His life (OK...how many of our earthly friends would do that? Our parents probably would but what friend would?)

Enough said...!
