not servants, no longer slaves our prayer, before the sermon changing the words, from “speak Lord, your servants are listening” to “your friends are listening” A different way of thinking, of our relationship with God friends, through the one who came to earth God in the flesh, walking as we do with daily struggles, the way of life made companions with the creator through the servant king giving his all, in the journey to the cross so that we may be friends of life not slaves to death
