The question should not be: " Do you want Jesus to be your friend?".  Rather "Do you want to be Jesus’ friend?"

I’ve spent some time thinking on what’s the difference between the 2 questions. Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think the difference is in this: when the first question is asked,  it somehow might lead to a thinking what Jesus would or could do for you, but when the second question is asked, you are expected to think what does it mean to be his friend and what would Jesus want you to do as his friend.

9"As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. 10If you obey my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have obeyed my Father’s commands and remain in his love. 11I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. 12My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. 13Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. 14You are my friends if you do what I command. 15I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you. 16You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. 17This is my command: Love each other.
