Friends Get The Whole Story – John 15:15

By Tammy Burke

Do you have a lot of secrets?

“No longer do I call you slaves, for the slave does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I have heard from My Father I have made known to you.” John 15:15 NASB

Notice how Jesus explains further the idea of us being friends. Since we’re friends he’s showing us the difference between being a friend and being a slave or an employee. We’re part of the family, not hired help.

One of the benefits of being family is that we’re “in” on what Jesus is doing. He’s saving the world. He’s using us. We’re friends. We not just given a task, but we know the plan. We’re part of the strategy.

Today, what are we doing with the knowledge we have? Do we keep our faith to ourselves? Or does our faith inform the way we live? We can live so differently, and still be great employees and friends. When we do, others will ask us what we’re doing, or why are we different. And when they do, we can tell them our relationship with Jesus is what causes the difference.

We speak for ourselves, which is our 5th daily habit. When we state our faith as being a normal part of how we live, it makes a difference and it causes others to have to think differently.

Why not try to live differently. Be a blessing to others. Practice our 5 daily habits and watch Jesus put you to work. Learn more and join us at https://community.followerofone.org.
