https://rockpointechurch.org/sermon-library/The good news of Jesus is that in Him we have a trustworthy helper, leader and friend, but when Jesus asks me to be HIS friend, what could I possibly offer him?
What a friend we have in Jesus
------------
- What do you cherish most about Jesus’ friendship?
- In this Upper Room conversation on the night before He dies, Jesus tenderly cares for His friends by serving them humbly (washing their feet), encouraging them constantly and creating a way for them to stay connected even when he is away (the Lord’s Supper).

What kind of friend does Jesus have in me?
------------
- Jesus not only pledges His friendship to us, but asks if we will be His friend…You are MY friend if…I have called YOU friends. What does Jesus expect from me?
- Can Jesus Trust You with His Cares and Concerns? Servants DO the Master’s business, but friends KNOW the inner workings of the Master’s heart and mind. What is Jesus showing you He cares about?
- Servants do the tasks assigned, but Friends “rub off” on each other and pick up one another’s characteristics. What would it mean to Love like Jesus loves?
- Emerson wrote that there are two elements of friendship: Truth…someone with whom we are sincere, and Tenderness…drawn by someone’s goodness, quality and character, they become dear to us.

Our first step is to accept Jesus’ friendship as Savior (helper) and Lord (leader). The way we know it has happened is when we take up our end of the relationship in devotion and service.
