WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

• One who multiplies joys, divides grief, and
  whose honesty is inviolable."
• "One who understands our silence."
• "A watch that beats true for all time and never
  runs down."
• The winning definition read "A friend is the
  one who comes in when the whole world has gone
  out."

John 159 " As the Father loved Me, I also have
loved you abide in My love. 10 "If you keep My
commandments, you will abide in My love, just as
I have kept My Father's commandments and abide in
His love. 11 "These things I have spoken to you,
that My joy may remain in you, and that your joy
may be full. 12 "This is My commandment, that
you love one another as I have loved you. 13
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay
down one's life for his friends. 14 "You are My
friends if you do whatever I command you. 15 "No
longer do I call you servants, for a servant does
not know what his master is doing but I have
called you friends, for all things that I heard
from My Father I have made known to you.

Romans 57 For scarcely for a righteous man will
one die yet perhaps for a good man someone would
even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates His own
love toward us, in that while we were still
sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more then,
having now been justified by His blood, we shall
be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if when
we were enemies we were reconciled to God through
the death of His Son, much more, having been
reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11
And not only that, but we also rejoice in God
through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we
have now received the reconciliation.

Proverbs 1717 A friend loves at all times, And
a brother is born for adversity.
6
Romans 838 For I am persuaded that neither death
nor life, nor angels nor principalities nor
powers, nor things present nor things to come,
39 nor height nor depth, nor any other created
thing, shall be able to separate us from the love
of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Proverbs 276 Faithful are the wounds of a
friend, But the kisses of an enemy are deceitful.

heart, And the sweetness of a man's friend gives
delight by hearty counsel.

1 Timothy 23 For this is good and acceptable in
the sight of God our Savior, 4 who desires all
men to be saved and to come to the knowledge of
the truth.
10
Job 614 " To him who is afflicted, kindness
should be shown by his friend,
11
Hebrews 414 Seeing then that we have a great
High Priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but
was in all points tempted as we are, yet without
sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the
throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and
find grace to help in time of need.
12
Proverbs 2717 As iron sharpens iron, So a man
sharpens the countenance of his friend.

John 141 "Let not your heart be troubled you
believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 "In My
Father's house are many mansions if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a
place for you. 3 "And if I go and prepare a
place for you, I will come again and receive you
to Myself that where I am, there you may be also.
15
John 1514 "You are My friends if you do whatever
I command you. 15 "No longer do I call you
servants, for a servant does not know what his
master is doing but I have called you friends,
for all things that I heard from My Father I have
made known to you.
16
Ecclesiastes 49 Two are better than one, Because
they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For
if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But
woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has
no one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down
together, they will keep warm But how can one be
warm alone? 12 Though one may be overpowered by
another, two can withstand him. And a threefold
cord is not quickly broken.
17
1 Thessalonians 511 Therefore comfort each other
and edify one another, Romans 1210 Be kindly
affectionate to one another with brotherly love,
in honor giving preference to one
another Galatians 513 For you, brethren, have
been called to liberty only do not use liberty
as an opportunity for the flesh, but through love
serve one another.
18
Galatians 62 Bear one another's burdens, and so
fulfill the law of Christ. Hebrews 1024 And let
us consider one another in order to stir up love
and good works,
19
Philippians 21 Therefore if there is any
consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if
any fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection
and mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being
like-minded, having the same love, being of one
accord, of one mind. 3 Let nothing be done
through selfish ambition or conceit, but in
lowliness of mind let each esteem others better
than himself. 4 Let each of you look out not
only for his own interests, but also for the
interests of others. 5 Let this mind be in you
which was also in Christ Jesus,
20
Matthew 1128 "Come to Me, all you who labor and
are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
21
2 John 19 He who abides in the doctrine of
Christ has both the Father and the Son. John
1423 Jesus answered and said to him, "If anyone
loves Me, he will keep My word and My Father
will love him, and We will come to him and make
Our home with him. 24 "He who does not love Me
does not keep My words and the word which you
hear is not Mine but the Father's who sent Me.
