"I do not call you servants anymore, because a servant doesn't know what his master is doing. I have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything I have heard from My Father." John 15:15 CSB
Have you ever stopped to consider that Jesus classes you as His friend? It is an amazing statement. The creator God is your friend. He will tell you everything you need to know. Jesus, the King of kings is your friend. In fact, you have permission to hang around with Him for the rest of your life. Just think of the benefits this holds for you:
(1) You will never be alone again. He is with you wherever you may be. He will watch over you, guide and train you to carry out His work. You'll never be alone because He is right beside you. You may fall at times but, He will gently help you back up brushing off the dirt you may have picked up.
(2) There may be mountains to climb as you go on your journey but hey, you have a great mountain-climber with you. He knows every inch of the mountains and what they contain and will expertly show you the safe way. Don't forget that He is also your Shepherd, He has a rod to beat anything that tries to attack you and a staff or crook, to guide you and pull you out of any wrong turnings you may have taken. However, part of the training He gives, is to help you to stand on your own two feet, withstanding anything that may come your way.
(3) Life is never dull with Jesus, He has a great sense of humour, just a deep study of the gospels show us this. It would not have been easy to train up hardened trawler men. They were thrown into the deep-end when Jesus called them to follow Him and, they made many mistakes. Don't forget, He drew people to Himself; no one would want to spend much time with someone who was a bore. Jesus wasn't, and, was far from this. It would have been wonderful to walk around with Him in those days.
Conclusion You and I have everything to look forward to. Jesus adores us and wants to spend every moment with us. Just let Him, and you will discover just how great life is with Him in it.
If you don't know Jesus or, have fallen away, why not say this prayer right now:
'Lord Jesus, I have sinned and I ask you to forgive me and be my Lord and Saviour. Please come into my heart, fill me with Your Spirit and give me a brand new start today.
In Jesus' Name. Amen'
