If you weren’t able to be here last week, we looked at what the Bible says about friends. Two things stood out
• We can have too many.
• Those we have should be a specific type.
A real friend is the kind (type) of person who is with you no matter what you do or what life brings and you can’t be that kind of friend with too many people because it requires allot.
Jesus asks us to be His friend and we like to consider Him a friend, but are we the kind of friend who is only there when we need something or do we walk with Jesus when others walk out? Jesus really only asks one thing of His friends: that is to help others come to Him. Jesus really asks less from us than most of our other friends.
Be the kind of friend who walks in when others won’t. Invite someone to church. Share what Jesus has done for you with someone who needs hope – it really is that simple, but it means everything to your friendship with Jesus.
Keep going to Him with your needs and concerns. He’s there for you because He’s your friend. I for one never want Jesus to wish He could un-friend me. I want Him to know how much I appreciate all He’s done for me.
See you Sunday – Pastor Mike
