L’amitié avec Jésus dans les Évangiles. Une interprétation

This article offers a theological and exegetical examination of the relational dynamics between Jesus, his disciples, and the broader public, through the conceptual framework of friendship. Integrating a close reading of scriptural texts with speculative theological reflection, it contends that Jesus – fully human and fully divine – formed authentic friendships and remains open to friendship with every person. Central to this inquiry is the polyvalent Greek term „philos”, which conveys both “friend” and “beloved,” revealing deeper dimensions of relationality within Christology. This exploration posits that perceiving Jesus through the lens of friendship enriches the spiritual life of the believer and strengthens both personal and communal communion with God. On a psychological level, such a friendship can serve as a source of consolation, hope, and healing amid experiences of fear, alienation or loneliness. Ultimately, the article proposes that cultivating a lived friendship with Christ provides a meaningful pathway into the mystery of the Resurrection and an experiential entry into divine life.
