I often remember, a thread a while back, mocking people who wanted to be friends with Jesus. "He isn't your friend bro, He is your King!" They were offended by anyone who didn't snap to, and get inline with the Church.
The disciples, were Jesus' friends. They didn't have faith, they couldn't be counted on, and they didn't do mighty works. But, Jesus treasured them on the Earth and in Heaven. Because they were His friends.
Anyone who becomes an excellent servant of the Christian Organizations, may very well miss what was most important. Their friendship with Jesus.
You could have been servants, but Jesus wanted you to be His friends. And, in His victory He wants us to be His brothers.
I hope today you will spend some of your attention on Jesus. Friendship, depends on spending your attention on the other person.
