WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
There are friends that one hath to his own hurt; but there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother. Proverbs 18:24 JPS
There are many people who come and go, some are friends who encourage, then there are friends who discourage. Some of our friends are even detrimental to our lives and end of hurting us more than helping us. There are some whom in the heat of a an emotional trauma spew words of hurtful drama because they themselves may be hurting over an issue in their lives.
However there is a friend who is closer than a even a sibling, one who love is greater than mother or father’s, one who will never leave us or forsake us. In fact he left his heavenly abode to dwell among us and then to offer up his sinless self in a human sacrifice for humanity’s salvation.
He sticks so close to us because once we receive him, he lives within our hearts through the resurrection of our spirit. He leads us into all true, and the ways of righteousness. He bids us to pick up our cross and to follow him, forsaking all others dying to ourselves that we might live unto him. He is amazing and he graces us with his fruitful spirit.
(22) The Spirit,………. brings a harvest of love, joy, peace; patience towards others, kindness, benevolence; (23) good faith, meekness, self-restraint. (24) Against such things as these there is no law. Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified their lower nature with its passions and appetites.
Galatians 5:22-24 WNT
I don’t know about you, but in my mind, I have no better brother than my elder brother; The Lord Jesus Christ. I met him many years ago at an old rugged cross, I gave him my heart there and he wash my sins away; cleansing me through his sanctified blood. It is the only blood bath I know that washes away all of our sins. I owe him all my life! I need more of Jesus and He wants all of me!
Shalom & Agape!
