"You are my friends if you do what I command you.... I have called you friends, because I have told you everything I have heard from my Father." (John 15: 14, 15 NABRE).
Jesus calls us His intimate friends, His closest friends. Let us consider how Scripture characterizes true friendship:
"Faithful friends are beyond price,
no amount can balance their worth.
Faithful friends are life-saving medicine; those who fear God will find them. Those who fear the Lord enjoy stable friendship, for as they are, so will their neighbors be." (Sirach 6: 15 - 17 NABRE)
We are truly friends and companions of Jesus, the true and faithful Witness.
