On Lazarus Saturday, Fr. Matthew Howell talks about the how Christ calls His Disciples (and us) friends, but says "You are my friends if you keep my commandments." Fr. Matthew then explains, in the context of the baptisms and chrismations from that morning, the nuanced difference between being a friend of Christ and a friend to Christ.
Epistle: Hebrews 12:28-29; 13:1-8
