John 15:14-15 | Friends, Not Servants. The Difference Is Information.

"No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn't know what his lord does. But I have called you friends." Jesus reclassifies the relationship.

The difference between a servant and a friend is not emotion. It is information. A servant obeys without understanding. A friend is brought into the why. Everything Jesus heard from the Father, he has made known to his friends. That is intimacy, not just obedience.

For anyone who has been relating to God as a hired hand following orders, this episode opens a different door.
