FRIEND OF JESUS
by Bill Kochman
12-14-2016
If you want to be Jesus' friend,
It's really a simple thing to do,
Just accept Him into your heart,
Then do all that He asks of you.
There's truly no better a friend,
Than He who gave His life in love,
Now we're required to do the same,
By sharing that Light from above.
Such are all the true friendships,
There must be some give and take,
But if we give our lives to Jesus,
We'll be rewarded, make no mistake.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. 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 15:13-15, KJV
"Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren."
1 John 3:16, KJV
"If I then, your Lord and Master, have washed your feet; ye also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have given you an example, that ye should do as I have done to you. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord; neither he that is sent greater than he that sent him. If ye know these things, happy are ye if ye do them."
John 13:14-17, KJV
