We are friends of Jesus Christ

(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: As God's children, we are not treated as slaves. We can approach God with confidence and boldness, knowing that we are loved and preferred. Jesus referred to us as friends, not just servants, and shared with us the things He heard from the Father. We should live trusting lives, expecting great blessings in our Christian walk, while also remembering that we are ultimately at God's disposal. In the next meditation, we will explore more passages that remind us of our positive identity in Christ.

Although we are God's servants, God does not treat us as slaves. I believe that is what was also behind the words of Jesus Christ when He made the parable of the sievro useless. He was telling us: God loves you, God has blessed you, God has adopted you as sons, but remember that ultimately you are useless servants.

But we cannot lose sight of that great and luminous truth that we are children of God, we are friends of Jesus Christ. The Lord does not treat us like slaves. We do not have to come before the Throne of Grace with fear and begging for a blessing from God but the Bible invites us to enter confidently and come before the Throne of Grace of God, and come with boldness, expect great things from us. of the Lord, remember that we are loved and preferred children, that the Lord wants, as He did with the prodigal son, to give us everything that is in His House and to sit at His table so that we can enjoy all the blessings of the Kingdom of God.
