(Proverbs 27:10).

Be unselfish with your friends! You Are Important Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 Be unselfish with your friends! “A man who has friends must himself be friendly… ” (Proverbs 18:24).

Your Friends Should be Important Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 Some people live and die alone. This sad reality can often be prevented. “Therefore, whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets.” (Matthew 7:12). We must remember to think of the friendship needs of others.

Treat Your Friends Well Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity” (Proverbs 17:17). “Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but the kisses of an enemy are deceitful” (Proverbs 27:6).

Jesus is Our Greatest Friend Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 “A man who has friends must himself be friendly, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother” (Proverbs 18:24). There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus. No, not one.

Jesus is Our Greatest Friend Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 No one else can heal all our souls’ diseases.

We know the King of Kings: “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me…” (Matthew 28:20). “Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need” (Hebrews 4:16).

Jesus is Our Greatest Friend Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 No man is so great, yet lowly. Yet Jesus cared enough to give His life for us. “For you know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that though He was rich, yet for our sakes He became poor, that you through His poverty might become rich” (2 Corinthians 8:9).

Jesus is Our Greatest Friend Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 No man cares for us like Jesus. “Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted” (Hebrews 2:17-18).

Jesus is Our Greatest Friend Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 No man cares for us like Jesus. “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy…” (Jude 1:24).

Jesus is Our Greatest Friend Prov 27:17 Prov 27:9 Prov 27:10 Prov 18:24 Matt 7:12 Prov 17:17 Prov 27:6 Matt 28:20 Heb 4:16 2 Cor 8:9 Heb 2:17-18 Jude 1:24 Eph 1:3-4 1 Thes 4:18 2 Thes 2:16-17 No man comforts us like Him. “Therefore, comfort one another with these words” (1 Thessalonians 4:18). “Now may our Lord Jesus Christ Himself, and our God and Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting consolation and good hope by grace, comfort your hearts and establish you in every good word and work” (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17).
