A Friend in Jesus
by Dr. (Mrs) Lizzy Johnson-Suleman
BIBLE READING: Leviticus 17-20
TEXT: “Casting all your care upon him: for he careth for you”. 1 Peter 5 :7.
A friend is someone who share your heart with and who you can trust. A friend is also a person you like a lot. There are different categories of friends. There is a friend in need who is a friend indeed. This is a friend who helps you when you really need help (Proverbs 18 :24).
Jonathan was a friend indeed to David. He could perceive that David would succeed his father, Saul as a king. Although this was a threat to his own personal ambition of becoming the king of Israel, nevertheless he loved David as his own soul. Are you a friend indeed? There are people who will say they are your friends but will treat you badly. One of such persons is Judas Iscariot the betrayer. In Matthew 26 :14 – 16; Judas Iscariot sold out the Lord Jesus Christ for thirty pieces of silver. What type of friend are you, Jonathan or Judas Iscariot
However, no matter how sincere friends are they can disappoint. There are various instances of such because as human beings, we have our limitations and there is an extent to which the most sincere of men can help.
Child of God, who then is the best friend indeed? It is Jesus! He is the only one who will never disappoint. He knows the worst about you yet He loves you all the same. He is the one who will never leave you nor forsake you (,Heb. 13 :5) also touched in your pains (Heb. 4 :15) full of compassion (Matt. 15 :22).

A very present help in time of trouble (Psa. 46 :1), the one who will not condemn you (Jn. 8 :11) but out to see you become better.
