In John’s gospel for the Sixth Sunday of Easter Jesus calls us into friendship. We are more than disciples; we don’t follow him mindlessly, nor are we his slaves who exist to serve him. In fact he loves us as a friend and calls us to love one another as friends. He has called us into this relationship. We are commanded to live the love he has for us with each other.
