Jesus Your Friend

The Christian life stated in simple terms means that you have an eternal friendship with Jesus that even death cannot destroy. You may have heard the words to this song: "What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer." If you have a personal relationship with the Lord Jesus, it may simply be defined as friendship. 

Friends share conversations with each other about their lives. They really know one another. Jesus shares all things with his friends. As a friend of Jesus, you read his words in the Bible. He reveals God to you in such a way that you know him personally.

You share your life with Jesus in prayer. He wants you to talk to him about your burdens and concerns, even your sins and grief. That's the way friends are. They talk about everything. Jesus calls you to be a friend.


Jesus said, "I have called you to be friends, for all things
that I heard from My Father 
I have made known to you." 

John 15:15, NKJV
