What kind of relationship is Jesus looking for us to have with Him and for Christians to have with each other? Jesus comes first as a friend and shows us in his words five facets of the friendship he seeks. In this section of the lecture "Real Churches are Friends" Richard Thompson continues to explore John 21 and:

- tells about a man from Tajikistan, who met Jesus in prison;

- explains how to have friendship with God's Son; 

- highlights the time and place Jesus chose to ask tough questions.
