12-22節--你們是我的朋友

約翰福音 第15章

基督曾經用多種方式來比喻祂與門徒的關係，而當中最令門徒感到鼓舞和最容易明白的一種關係，就是基督稱他們為「朋友」。能夠成為基督的朋友，當然是人生中最令人興奮和快樂的大事了。

在第13節，基督指出祂甘願為我們捨命，這就證明祂是我們的朋友了；祂在第14節更直言我們是祂的朋友。能夠與基督以朋友相稱，當然是我們的莫大榮幸與光采；不過，它同時亦要求我們承擔很大的責任。

朋友之間，要互相信任、彼此分享和彼此愛護。我們與基督之間，有沒有這種真誠的相交呢？藉著與主相交，我們除了可以向祂坦誠傾訴和剖白自己的心聲，還可以明白祂的心意和計劃──更可以參與、推動和實現祂的計劃，這真是何等大的福氣！我們竟然可以邀請這位願意作我們朋友的主，進入我們的生命之中，與我們分享一切，實在是何等的令人振奮！

在這種朋友的關係中，我們愈深體會到祂對我們的愛，而我們亦學習如何愛祂；過程中的快樂，實難以言喻。我們更藉著基督而獲得赦罪的喜樂。而且，更重要的是，基督已從死裡復活，祂如今已永遠活著，所以，祂將永遠與我們為友，且隨時在我們的身邊，成為我們的幫助。以下一首詩歌，相信正是你我的心聲：

耶穌恩友

耶穌是我親愛朋友，擔當我罪與憂愁；

何等權利能將萬事，來到主恩座前來。

多少平安屢屢失去，多少痛苦白白受；

皆因未將各樣事情，帶到主恩座前求。

‘YOU ARE MY FRIENDS’
BIBLE READING: John 15: 12 – 22

In talking with his disciples, Christ called them by many different names so that they would realise how close their relationship to him was. Perhaps of all these names or titles, ‘friends’ is the most encouraging and revealing. To be a friend of Christ must surely be one of life’s greatest joys.

In verse 13 Christ speaks of proving his friendship for us by laying down his life for us. In verse 14 he clearly states we are his friends. Friendship may be one of our greatest privileges, but it carries with it also tremendous responsibilities.

As friends, we share confidences; we share plans; we feel deeply for each other. Isn’t that true between us and Christ? How wonderful to be able to share everything with Christ. What a blessing to enter into his plans and purposes – to become a part of them ourselves. How thrilling to be able to ask him, our friend and our Lord, to enter into our lives and share everything with us.

Then to know his love for us and to be able to love him is surely one of our greatest joys. We rejoice in the forgiveness that has come to us through Christ. But remember, because he rose from the dead and is alive today, we can know him as our daily friend and constant companion. Can you say these words?

‘He walks with me and he talks with me,

And he tells me I am his own;

And the joy we share as we tarry there,

None other has ever known.’
