John 15:15 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."
We have access to all the wisdom, knowledge and insight. We should NOT be ignorant of anything. Is there anything God hasn't made known to Jesus? ..... Nope - and Jesus said he's made known to US everything he's learned from his father. What a powerful truth!
If we tap into our friendship with Jesus and stop looking at ourselves as servants we will begin to open ourselves up to a whole new arena of living & understanding.
A friendship takes time & effort to develop - but the 1st step is accepting Jesus' "friend request" and then spend time getting to know him. The more intimate you become the more 'secrets' he reveals... And His secrets aren't the latest juicy gossip, but his secrets are keys to accessing ALL the benefits laid up for you!
2 Peter 1:3 NLT
By his divine power, God has given us EVERYTHING we need for loving a godly life. We have received all of this by coming to KNOW him, the one who called us to himself by means of his marvelous glory and excellence.
I don't know about you, but my friends can come over anytime they want, dig thru my fridge, drink up my juice and spend the night as long as they want without an issue from me. That is the type of friendship we have with Christ. The kick back, relax, stay as long as you'd like and let's get to know each other friendship.
We are not servants, unaware of what our master is up to. We are friends of God and he is ready to share every good thing with us.
