Jesus call us to friendship . Greater love hath on man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 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 made known unto you ( John 15:13-15, KJV ). Up to this time Jesus had called His disciples servants or douloi. This is a title of honor. Moses was called the doulos of God or the servant of God in Deuteronomy 34:5. Joshua was called the doulos of  God in Joshua 24:29. David was God’s doulos in Psalm 89:20. Paul used the title doulos in Titus 1;1.  This title is used to describe God’s honor roll of His best. In the Old Testament Abraham was the friend of God ( see Isa. 41:8,2 Chron. 20:7 ) Jesus is called the friend of sinners in Matthews 11:19. He calls the disciples friends John 15:13-15 and in Luke 12:4 ‘’ I tell you my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more . ‘’What a privilege to be friends of Jesus ! We are His friends because we keep  His teachings.
