Jesus does not call obedient Disciples by that name, He calls them
friends. A hymn writer penned these words: ‘Friendship With Jesus, Fellowship
Divine, Oh What Blessed Sweet Communion, Jesus is a Friend of mine.’ This is
the place that, spiritually the Lord wants to bring us to. Let us be challenged
to be or to become obedient Disciples of Jesus.
