Los he llamado amigos, porque todas las cosas que he oído de mi Padre se las he dado a conocer a ustedes (Juan 15:15).
Jesús estaba celebrando la Pascua en la planta alta de una casa de Jerusalén con sus apóstoles. Todos ellos estaban convencidos de que Jesús era el Mesías prometido (Juan 6:68, 69). Debieron de sentirse muy conmovidos al oír a Jesús decirles las palabras del texto de hoy. Estas no solo son aplicables a sus apóstoles fieles, sino a todos los cristianos ungidos de la actualidad y, por extensión, a sus compañeros de las “otras ovejas” (Juan 10:16). Los cristianos componemos un grupo muy diverso, pero todos podemos tener el honor de ser amigos de Jesús. Y eso es muy importante, pues ser amigo de Jesús significa ser amigo de Jehová. De hecho, es imposible entablar una relación estrecha con Dios si no la entablamos primero con su Hijo (Juan 14:6, 21).
Thursday, April 14
I have called you friends, because all the things I have heard from my Father I have made known to you.—John 15:15.
The men sitting in the upper room with Jesus that night in Jerusalem were convinced that Jesus was the promised Messiah. (John 6:68, 69) It must surely have warmed their hearts to hear him say to them the words of today’s text. Those words of Jesus to his faithful apostles apply in principle to all anointed Christians today and, by extension, to their “other sheep” companions. (John 10:16) No matter what our background, we can have the privilege of being friends of Jesus. Our friendship with him is of utmost importance because being his friends makes us friends of Jehovah too. In fact, it is impossible to draw close to Jehovah without first drawing close to Christ.—John 14:6, 21.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
