" Love one another just as I loved you. "

Just as the father loved me, so also I loved you; abide in my love.

If the “command” to which Jesus is referring here is the command to love one another,

then if we love one another, we are Jesus’ friends.

I no longer call you servants, because the servant has not known what his lord is doing;

but I have called you friends, because all the things which I heard from my father I made known to you.
