HIS FRIENDSHIP

Posted on

“I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from My Father I have made known to you.”        John 15:15 NIV

 

This verse tells us that Jesus is our Friend and He shares some special gifts with us. He shares His love with us. This is a truth that permeates the pages of the Word of God! His love is said to be “everlasting”. His love is said to be the motive behind the cross. His love is something from which those who are in it can never be separated. There is nothing in the world like knowing that you are loved by God! He shares His life with us. Jesus not only gave His life FOR us on the cross, but He also IMPARTS His life to us day by day. This is seen in the great change He makes in every life He touches. He takes us with all our sins and fleshly desires, saves us by His grace and gives us a heart to live for Him! Every life He touches changes! This is seen countless times in the Gospels. He shares His life lessons with us. Jesus tells His disciples that He has chosen to treat them like friends. He will not keep the truth hidden from them, but He will teach them all things about the Father. He is the revelation of the Father. He teaches us truth about His Father, His work and His word. Of course, He does this through the Person and work of the Holy Spirit. He teaches us about His Father. How to love Him. How to live for Him. How to worship Him. How to praise Him. How to enjoy Him. How to fellowship with Him. How to share Him with others. He holds nothing back from us His friends.
