John 15:15 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.
When Jesus was preparing the disciples for what was to come, He made sure they knew just how much they meant to God.
Jesus lifted the disciples up as friends instead of servants because a servant should do whatever is required by the master because it is their job, but a friend does things out of love for their friend.
To have Jesus as your friend is absolutely remarkable – talk about crossing boundaries, classes, everything!
Your God wants to be your friend!
