Which Jesus?

Zootown Church

There are many names for Jesus, and there are many different characteristics to Jesus, but there’s one that we don’t think about enough: Friend. Jesus told his disciples before he went to the cross, which was going to be one of the most traumatic experiences of their lives, that "I no longer call you slaves but friends." Oftentimes we think so much about Jesus’ Divinity, we forget about his humanity, and that he is also the perfect friend. What we know about humanity is that it is in our low points, our struggles, when we are lost, that we need a friend the most. Jesus is our most important friend.
