Jesus as a Friend

🎵What a Friend We Have in Jesus🎵

 "No longer do I call you servants, for a servant does not understand what his master is doing.  But I have called you friends, because everything I have learned from My Father I have made known to you."  -  John 15:15

Best Friends

Last month I shared from Diana Butler Bass's book, "Freeing Jesus - Rediscovering Jesus as Friend, Teacher, Savior, Lord, Way, and Presence".  You can read that HERE if you missed it.  This month I'll share what she has to say about Jesus as a friend, as well as my own experiences.  

God's Dwelling Place

"Do you not know that you are a temple of God and

 that the Spirit of God dwells in you?" 

--1 Corinthians 3:16

Second-Hand

Stop this day and night with me and you shall possess the origin of all poems,

You shall possess the good of the earth and sun, (there are millions of suns left,)

You shall no longer take things at second or third hand, nor look through the eyes of the dead, nor feed on the spectres in books,

You shall not look through my eyes either, nor take things from me,

You shall listen to all sides and filter them from your self. 

-- from "Song of Myself," by Walt Whitman
