Saviour, Redeemer, Friend

Day 2 of Holy Week was a further opportunity for contemplative worship with our 'extended congregation' in the nursing homes and hostels. We considered the following text.

John 15:13-15 (NIV) ~ "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. 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."

The complete, Divine love of Jesus paid the price of sin for us ~ He is our Saviour.
"He died that we might be forgiven...saved by His precious blood" ~ He is our Redeemer.
His personal, sacrificial Love demands our souls, our lives, our all ~ and that's why we can call Him, Friend.
