JESUS, SAVIOUR, FRIEND

“For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder; and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, the everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.”
Isaiah 9:6 KJV

Jesus, the Name above all names, not only is He our Saviour He is also our Friend.  I have many wonderful friends but the greatest Friend I have is Jesus.  What a Saviour!  What a Friend, this Jesus of Nazareth!  O how I love Jesus.  He is the joy of my heart and the reason I’m living.

He loved me when nobody else did.  Jesus came to me when I was lying under a bed in a mental hospital afraid of everyone and everything.  He put His loving arms of compassion around me and lifted me up and told me He loves me.  Is it any wonder why I love Him so much?  Jesus, the Name above all names!

A little boy once said to a friend “My mother is better than peanut butter.”  That was a great compliment coming from this little boy about his mother.  I echo what this little boy said but I say it about Jesus because Jesus is better than peanut butter.  What a privilege it is just to be able to say His precious Name.

I wish I could tell you how much I love Jesus.  He is the reason I’m living, the joy of my heart, and He is every breath I take.  Praise God, one day I am going to have the privilege of seeing Jesus face to face.  How I long for that day.  I pray that every person will feel in their heart how much He loves them.

We know that Jesus loves us because He proved His love for us when He allowed them to crucify Him for our sins.  Does Jesus know we love Him?  What are we doing for Him?
