But thou, Israel, art my servant, Jacob whom I have chosen, the seed of Abraham my friend. (Isaiah 41:8)
Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his 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 15:15)
Dr. Roberto Miranda

We are friends of Jesus Christ

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. Read more...
