Friends who Sacrifice: Becoming a True Friend of Jesus
In this episode we walk through John 15 to explore what it means to be a friend of Jesus, unpacking the themes of sacrifice, obedience, availability, and God’s relational design.
The episode highlights these key points: Jesus proved friendship by laying down his life, friendship requires mutual sacrifice and loyalty, obedience is the proof of friendship, and forgiveness and availability are central to Jesus’ way of relating to us.
In this episode we walk through John 15 and sort out the three different types of branches that Jesus talks about: the fruitful (pruned to produce more), the unfruitful (believers who stop bearing fruit and are set aside), and the withered (those who only look like branches but never truly trusted Him).
Take a moment to pause and check to see which branch your are. Trust Jesus if you never have, and if you’re a believer who’s grown cold, come back to abiding in Him so real life and purpose return.
