Summary

Mothers around the world have always reminded their children to choose their friends wisely. How good of a job did Jesus do in selecting his friends? Jesus is surrounded by the most unlikely cast of characters and yet he loves them to the end. In John 15, Jesus reflects on what it means to be loved and chosen by God. So, what does that look like in our lives today? In a world that often casts us down and throws us aside what assurance and confidence is offered to us in these promises of Jesus?
