“Let Jesus be your best friend”,  John 15

• We are made for friendship
• Adam needed Eve
  • “The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.”” Genesis 2.18
• Think about the significance of friends throughout your life
• None like Jesus
• Friendship he offers us cannot be earned
• Friendship he offers cost him dear

1. Jesus defines friendship

• Only he really knows what friendship is all about
• Jesus-style friendship

1. Initiative
2. Investment
3. Innocent

2. Living in friendship with Jesus

• “meno”: stay, continue, dwell, lodge, remain, rest, settle, endure, continue unchanged, persevere, constant, steadfast, indwell, abide….
• “to be in close and settled union”

Friendship with Jesus means…

1. Time: Spark + Proximity + Time
2. Trust: life and doctrine
3. Telling: proud of our friend Jesus

Conclusion

• What would your life be like with a closer friendship with Jesus?
• What would your church be like with a closer friendship with Jesus?
