Jesus’ Vision and Mission: The Importance Of People

“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father’s commands and remain in his love... John 15:9-17 (NIV)

My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command… John 15:9-17 (NIV)

I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. John 15:9-17 (NIV)

You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you so that you might go and bear fruit—fruit that will last.This is my command: Love each other.” John 15:9-17 (NIV)

A Friend… 1.Walks Through Adversity With You

He who covers over (or forgives) an offence promotes love, but whoever repeats the matter separates close friends. Proverbs 17:9 (NIV)

As iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another. Proverbs 27:17 (NIV)

And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Hebrews 10:24-25 (NIV)
