No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I heard from My Father I have made known to you.

David Jeremiah Daily Devotional 24 August 2021 Message:
Friend was a covenant term; Abraham was called the friend of God (2 Chronicles 20:7; Isaiah 41:8). In light of the New Covenant, Jesus called His disciples His friends. What does that mean? It means what David and Jonathan exemplified in their friendship: Whatever you need me to do, I will do it (1 Samuel 20:4). Jesus said the same thing to His friends: “You will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you” (John 15:7). True friends are closer than brothers (Proverbs 18:24), and no friend is closer or more loyal than Jesus.
Let your friendship with Jesus be closer than all others. Be bound to Him in love and faith through His New Covenant (Matthew 26:28).
What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear!
