Even though people now have hordes of people they chat with online, tonnes of followers, likes, subscribers, and ‘friends’ online, people are still haunted by, and chilled by a profound loneliness. People live behind their screens, live in bigger and bigger cities, where you are more and more anonymous, lost in the crowd, surrounded by people but without community or friendship. And friendship becomes even more important when you become a believer in Christ, because of the hostility we now experience form the world. In John 15, Jesus gives us three actions of true Christlike friendship.
