There really are no secrets between close friends. They have heard all of our stories. They know our embarrassing moments, our thoughts, and our ambitions. They know us and see us as we really are.

Jesus makes it plain to the disciples that they are his friends. He reminds them that he has shared everything with them. All his plans, all his ideas, all his hopes have been laid out for them. There’s not much more for him to tell. Jesus is open and “real” with his friends and asks that they follow his example.

How can you follow Jesus’ path of friendship today? Who needs to see the real you? And who do you need to see?
