WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS
• “One who multiplies joys, divides grief, and
whose honesty is inviolable."
• "One who understands our silence."
• "A watch that beats true for all time and
never runs down."

who comes in when the whole world has gone
out."
John 15:9 " As the Father loved Me, I also have loved you;
abide in My love. 10 "If you keep My commandments, you
will abide in My love, just as I have kept My Father's
commandments and abide in His love. 11 "These things I
have spoken to you, that My joy may remain in you, and
that your joy may be full. 12 "This is My commandment,
that you love one another as I have loved you. 13
"Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's
life for his friends. 14 "You are My friends if you do
whatever I command you. 15 "No longer do I call you
servants, for a servant does not know what his master is
doing; but I have called you friends, for all things that I
heard from My Father I have made known to you.
Romans 5:7 For scarcely for a righteous man will
one die; yet perhaps for a good man someone
would even dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates
His own love toward us, in that while we were
still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Much more
then, having now been justified by His blood, we
shall be saved from wrath through Him. 10 For if
when we were enemies we were reconciled to
God through the death of His Son, much more,
having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His
life. 11 And not only that, but we also rejoice in
God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom
we have now received the reconciliation.
Proverbs 17:17 A friend loves at all times, And a
brother is born for adversity.
Romans 8:38 For I am persuaded that neither

of God which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

Hebrews 4:14 Seeing then that we have a great
High Priest who has passed through the heavens,
Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our
confession. 15 For we do not have a High Priest
who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but
was in all points tempted as we are, yet without
sin. 16 Let us therefore come boldly to the throne
of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find
grace to help in time of need.

John 14:1 "Let not your heart be troubled; you
believe in God, believe also in Me. 2 "In My
Father's house are many mansions; if it were not
so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place
for you. 3 "And if I go and prepare a place for
you, I will come again and receive you to Myself;
that where I am, there you may be also.
John 15:14 "You are My friends if you do
whatever I command you. 15 "No longer do I call
you servants, for a servant does not know what
his master is doing; but I have called you friends,
for all things that I heard from My Father I have
made known to you.
Ecclesiastes 4:9 Two are better than one, Because
they have a good reward for their labor. 10 For if
they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe
to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no
one to help him up. 11 Again, if two lie down
together, they will keep warm; But how can one
be warm alone? 12 Though one may be
overpowered by another, two can withstand him.

consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any
fellowship of the Spirit, if any affection and
mercy, 2 fulfill my joy by being like-minded,
having the same love, being of one accord, of one
mind. 3 Let nothing be done through selfish
ambition or conceit, but in lowliness of mind let
each esteem others better than himself. 4 Let
each of you look out not only for his own
interests, but also for the interests of others. 5
Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ
Jesus,

which you hear is not Mine but the Father's who
sent Me.
