Fruit that will last #1
Problem for 21st c Christianity
too successful?
Everyone accepts Golden Rule (Matt 7:12)
basis of western values
so when we say 'Love one another, everyone says 'yes' - even Dawkins
But J saying he will die for his friends - such love indeed
a mother would die (video of squirrel)
humanists agree
altruism/ sacrifice understandable without Christianity
One man, claimed to be God
John Wainwright
totally outrageous that he would want to be my friend
choose me???
Who do you admire?
Neil Kinnock
Jesus???
precisely what Jesus is saying
Up 'til then - servants
This is a new commandment
Few hours before being arrested - really important
Paul describes himself as a servant of Christ - and that is what we are
What is a friend?
Facebook?
Biblically - deep and intimate
In your house - eat with
Philos/Philia
John R
One kidney
'very good of you'
Jesus goes further
Love
'as the father loved me...'
flows from the father to the son to the disciples - and to us (vine)
Jesus wants us to abide in that love
rest, breathe, live - flow
to the world
Usually reciprocal
Peter understood how these things worked
'Go away from me'
'I can't live a life that's worthy of your friendship'
'It'd be better if you go'
