Week Commencing 16th April 2023

John 15: 12-17 (MSG)
Love each other as I have loved you.

“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. You didn’t choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won’t spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you. But remember the root command: Love one another.”

How easy is it as a Christian to deal with the thought that we are the friends of
Jesus and He trusts us to creatively find ways of bringing people to Him? Or is it
much easier to be a servant and just wait to follow instructions?
