This Sunday’s image of the life the risen Christ shares with us is the image of friendship. We are called to
serve others as Jesus came to serve; but for John’s gospel, the image of servanthood is too hierarchical, too
distant, to capture the essence of life with Christ. Friendship captures the love, the joy, the deep mutuality of
the relationship into which Christ invites us. The Greeks believed that true friends are willing to die for each
other. This is the mutual love of Christian community commanded by Christ and enabled by the Spirit.
