I Have Called You Friends
Reinhard KornerPaperback 2012-01-01
Publisher Description
A person's final words command extra-special attention and in this short yet replete text, the messages contained in Jesus' final words to his disciples are explored for their significance today. The final discourses, as they are called, fill three entire chapters of John's Gospel and their central theme is friendship with God and the way of love. Here is the very essence of our faith and life in Christ. The author considers: The nature of the love that turns servants into friends, and friends into daughters and sons; The gift and presence of Holy Spirit as God's voice, speaking at all times; What it means to 'abide' in love; What Jesus meant when he prayed for our 'union' with God; and many more aspects of this rich theme. Here is a discipleship agenda for a lifetime.
