“True Friends Of Jesus”
Tuesday, April 8, 2025Key Verse
“Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.” John 15:15
Text — John 15:13-15
Message
Who are your friends? Stop and think about it. Are they people who will add value to your spiritual life, physical life, social wellbeing, moral life, academic performance and every other areas of your life? Jesus, our Lord, had people whom He called friends because they were obedient to Him. Are you a friend of Jesus? Does He know you as one of His friends who obey His commandments? Or are you one of the children who do not have Jesus as his Friend? Jesus is calling you to become one of His friends today, He will take care of you if you give your life to Him.
You can tell your classmates, playmates and neighbours about your true and faithful Friend – Jesus. Bad friends will lead you into doing things that God does not like, but Jesus will lead you in the way of salvation, holiness and heaven. Do not let friends influence you to do evil, but rather, influence them to follow Jesus.
