A Friend That Stays

"And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age." Matthew 28:20 (NIV)

What kind of a Friend is Jesus to you?
Who is Jesus that you call Him your Friend?
Why is He Your Friend?

Jesus Is A Friend That Stays When The World Walks Out!

"You are my friends if you do what I command." John 15:14 (NIV)

"You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy to God." James 4:4 (NIV)

What are some of Satan's favorite ingredients that are "friendship with the world"? Jealousy, envy, quarrel, hatred, divorce (it's becoming much more common, in the world today, compared to 20 years ago!!), adultery (not only physical but mental and spiritual!!), lust, greed, favoritism, ridicule, lies, deceit, pride, gossip (popular among both deaf and hearing; with an intent to harm) and hundreds of other nasty ingredients!! These are what God hates!!!

"There are six things the LORD hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers." Prov 6:16-19 (NIV)

Jesus is a Friend that stays with those who love Him while the world walks out of those who love Jesus!
