for Sunday Nov. 28th
“I have called you friends” (John 15:15). With these words Jesus introduces us to the amazing fact that Jesus brings us into a relationship with Him! Living the Christian life is not about keeping rules but about loving the God who created us; loving Jesus who died for us. Our obedience is not to be a mechanical check list of “do’s” and “don’ts”; our obedience is to be an expression of our love for God; we do what God asks because we have a relationship with Jesus, a relationship where Jesus calls us His friends! And Jesus is a friend that we can trust, He’s not going to abandon us for someone more popular, He’s not going to abandon us when we let Him down, He’s not going to abandon us because we’re too demanding. He’ll be with us through thick and thin. There is no greater friend than Jesus. And so, as you would do with any other friend, lean on Jesus for support and strength, He’ll not let you down.
