Servant and Friend

By Linda Sedrick Pearson

Love others not expecting anything back in return. Give out expecting it to keep going. The only way I can call Jesus friend is if I have a clean conscience and am doing what He wants me to do. A friend is someone that shares your life with you.

Servant--devoted to another, follows without question and without knowing, treated lowly, kept in the dark.

Friend--shares and becomes a part of a person's life, shares with us, gives to us; Jesus.

We are never alone if Christ is our friend. Joy will come to us if we do the things Christ wants us to do.

John 12:
44 Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me.
45 And he that seeth me seeth him that sent me.
46 I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness.
47 And if any man hear my words, and believe not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
48 He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day.
49 For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak.
50 And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Life everlasting to it's fullest comes from following Jesus fully. What Jesus said came from God the Father.
Do you abide in darkness or follow the Light? Does Jesus call you friend? Do you show Him true friendship?

Do you need to accept Him as Lord and Savior?
