they were still his friends

something we can learn here

in the behavior of Christ Jesus

what He knew in these moments

on that night in the upper room.

He called them friends, these ones

who would betray Him, who

would run away when He was captured

they were still His friends

these disciples of Jesus.

He shared all with them

these men who were all too human.
