In ancient courts, "friend of the king" wasn't just a nice phrase—it meant someone in the inner circle, with access before the generals ever got in the room. Stephen Davey unpacks Jesus using that exact word for His disciples, hours before the cross. No longer servants, He tells them, but friends. Davey walks through three gifts tucked into this one passage: a deeper picture of love, a new title that would've stopped the disciples cold, and an appointment that comes with real weight attached. What does it mean that the King of everything calls you His friend?
