Know Jesus as Your Friend

PSALM 118:24 NIV

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it.

JOHN 15:15 NIV

I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.

Celebrate this day, JR Tyndale Ministries family—it’s a new moment to know Jesus as your Friend! Think of a time you felt isolated, maybe sitting alone with thoughts too heavy to share. Picture Jesus, with a warm smile and open heart, saying, “I’m here, and I understand you.” That’s who He is—our Friend, whose authority invites us into a bond of trust, welcoming souls with His constant presence. His friendship, steady yesterday, today, and forever, transforms lives by drawing them close. Reflect today: How has Jesus’ companionship warmed your soul? His love equips you to offer that same welcome to others. Let’s embrace this day, because Jesus’ friendship touches lives!

1
LEAN ON YOUR FRIEND

Pray, sharing one joy or burden with Jesus, trusting His listening heart.

2
REFLECT ON HIS PRESENCE

Journal about a moment Jesus felt like a Friend and how John 15:15 calls you to welcome others to Him.

3
WELCOME A SOUL GENTLY

Reach out with a small gesture (e.g., a text, a kind word) to someone who might feel alone, and share your story with #JRTyndaleMinistries to inspire others.

Jesus, my Friend, thank You for Your authority that draws me near. Help me lean on You, reflect on Your presence, and welcome souls with Your love. Amen.

John 15:13-15 · Proverbs 18:24 · Romans 5:11 · Psalm 25:14 · Hebrews 13:8
