“A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”
Proverbs 17:17
Ponder This
Jesus ministered to us in His friendship. God came from Heaven down to Earth to be in human form with us. Jesus is a friend of sinners! There are lost people out there who need the love and friendship of Jesus Christ. As His body, we’re now to be reaching out to those yearning for love and friendship.
Christians need to set the tone and the atmosphere in the communities in which we live and the places we go. We need to be approachable and real. When people are experiencing heartache, tears, and real problems, they’re not primarily interested in your answers; they are interested in who will be with them.
In this way, you point to Christ, the One who is with us in our sorrows. We’ve got to show the beauty, love, grace, and kindness of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. You may think you are friendly, but are you letting people in? We often have little holy huddles and brag about how we love one another. But standing there are broken people who need someone to go deeper and care for what they are going through. That’s what Jesus does and what we are called to do, too.
- Who is struggling around you? What are some ways you can care for them like Christ?
- When has someone ministered to you by caring for you in a difficult time? How did that point to Christ?
Practice This
Invite a non-Christian to coffee or to a meal so you can get to know that individual and understand what that person is going through.
