John 15: 12-17 (MSG)
“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 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? Is it much easier to be a
servant and just wait to follow instructions?
