---FULLY INFORMED / FRIEND OF JESUS~~

---“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) --

----Most of us in contemporary western society do not live in the world of masters and servants, but we understand that one of the differences between the two groups is access to information. The masters talk about important things among themselves, but servants are not privy to those things. Friends of the master are invited in to sit down for a leisurely chat about his thoughts, feelings, and plans; servants are told what to do and when.

--- Jesus says that we are His friends because He has shared with us what He has learned from His Father. We live in an era when the concept of friendship has been watered down until it is nearly meaningless. In contrast, the friendship of Jesus is intimate and sincere. It opens the door for us to gain understanding about God and His Kingdom. If nothing else can be said of me, I want to be known as a friend of Jesus.

**THINK ABOUT IT**
--Jesus’ disciples addressed each other as He had addressed them - friends. What responsibilities can you think of that come with being a friend to others and a friend to Jesus?

*PRAYER*
--"Heavenly Father, it is humbling that Jesus would call me His friend. Forgive any selfish attitudes that have prevented me from being a faithful friend. Help me honor Jesus, giving Him first place in all of my life. Thank You, Abba Father, that we can come boldly to the Throne of Grace, in Jesus Name. In His name I pray. Amen."
