—John 15:15-27
by: Jasmine Lynch.
Jesus chose His twelve disciples, and we are chosen by God. Friendship goes both ways. He chose us and we must choose Him. If we do, we are no longer servants but His friends who will bear fruit and receive anything we ask of God. With that comes the responsibility to love one another as He has loved us, to bear fruit, to carry out His commandments, and to expect to be hated by the world as His Son was hated. The world has no excuse now because Jesus demonstrated God’s love through His miracles and teachings, and we are commissioned to carry on the work from where He left off.
