When dinner time came, he sent his servant to tell everyone who was invited, 'Come on over — everything's ready and waiting for you.'

Same goes for you — when you've done everything God asked you to do, just say, 'We're nothing special. We literally just did what we were supposed to do.'

From now on, I'm not calling you servants anymore. Servants don't know what their boss is really up to — they just follow orders. But I'm calling you friends, because I've shared everything my Father told me with you.
