Friend

"No longer do I call you slaves, but I have called you friends," John 15:15.

A master does not bring a slave into his confidence. A slave obeys slavishly without fellowship in the master's will. But a master shares plans and ideas with friends. A friend fellowships. Jesus tells us everything he heard from his Father. He fellowships us into his confidence. He wills that we fellowship in his mission to bear fruit. To what end? That we love one another.

Transformed, we seek out brothers and sisters. And brothers and sisters to be. We will love others like Jesus loves us. And together we give thanks. To the One who made us friends.
