Friends
John 15.9-17Jesus encourages the disciples to keep his commandments and, above all, to love one another as he loved them. He says that those who do this are his friends and he emphasises that this is his choice rather than theirs.
We explore what ‘loving one another after the example of Jesus’ means in practice. What is the nature of this love (in contrast to popular usage – e.g. in something such as Love Island)? What are the implications that everyone who follows Jesus, whatever our relationship with them might be – good, bad or indifferent – is chosen by him?
This week we explore what Jesus means by friendship.
