It's time again for Passage of the Week. I saw Joe today and it got me thinking about friends, we haven't seen each other for a couple months but when we do it seems like he never left. This made me think of a verse.
Proverbs 18:24b there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
To think that I have a friend that will stick closer than Jeremy, now that is amazing! One of the goals of Battalion is to create a brotherhood, guys with a common goal(following Jesus)that can be friends for life. These guys are good friends but Jesus is a far better friend than this.
John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.
That is amazing to think that someone would lay down his life for his friends! But Jesus love is greater than this!
Romans 5:6-10 You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him! For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!
Jesus died for us while we were ungodly, sinners and his enemies! Now that is amazing!
I found one more verse that I wanted to share.
1Peter 2:17 Show proper respect to everyone: Love the brotherhood of believers, fear God, honor the King.(Btln verse?)
