Jul 30, 2024 · Christ’s statement, “I have called you friends,” must have deeply moved the disciples since only Abraham and Moses were called God’s friends in Scripture (Exodus 33:11; 2 Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8; James 2:23).
But Jesus’ friendship with us is characterized by full disclosure. During the days of His flesh, Christ revealed everything he learned from the Father to His disciples. In John 15:15 we read: I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business.
