REV. Lee Ruud delivers a message from God’s Word: ~ He Calls Me Friend ~
Rev. Lee Ruud
Rev. Lee Ruud shared the word of God from John 15: 9–17… Because Jesus laid down His life…for us… we have become His friend! Greater love has no one than this… that he lay down his life for his friends.
Jesus, now…calls us…His friend, if we do what He commands us…To Do!
Are we doing what He commanded us?
I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends… for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.
Everything He has learned from His Father… He has shared with us…in His Word!
Remember what God said???
You did not choose me, but I chose you and appointed you to go and bear fruit—fruit that will last…. Then the Father will give you whatever you ask in my name. God choose us, we did not choose God! Proverb 18:24… a friend sticks closer than a Brother ~ a man that has friends must show himself friendly: and there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Jesus is the Best Friend…You will ever have! He must be the closest to us and to our heart!
