This is an audition for God friend. Greater love. Hath no man than this that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends. If ye do whatsoever, I command you henceforth, I call you not servants for the servant. Knoweth not what the Lord doeth, but I have called you friends for all things that I have heard of. My father. I have made known unto you John 1513 through 15. KJV, Jesus called his disciples friends. Why? Because he decided to trust them, he decided to love them. He decided to commit to them and open up to them. A servant is available at a moment's call. But this relationship is more distant and obligatory. It wasn't the relationship that Jesus was looking for. He held back, nothing from his followers and risked everything for them. Jesus set a standard for us to follow. By this definition. The greatest expression of love and friendship is the willingness to lay down our lives for another. This is a primary theme of jesus' earthly ministry and apostolic teachings. Jesus prophesized that at the end of time, the love of most would grow cold. Matthew 24 verse 12. I think his prophecy has come true. Our supply of love is low even though the demand for love is high. It is my opinion that the church also registers low on sacrifice. We in the United States are the most independent affluent society in the world but our love is incomplete. Friends are in short supply when life becomes difficult. It is not unusual to find that no one is really there for you.
