It's Amazing Grace To Be Friends With The King Of Kings.

"I have called you friends"__The Lord Jesus John 15:15
Life is sometimes hard and pain is universal touching everybody but Jesus is always there for us, with open arms hand over heart, saying I will never abandon you amidst your trials. Jesus is loyal ~ a Friend who can be counted on in the hard times ~ always there with you, forever.
The Lord Jesus knows us by name, thinks about us, prays for us ~ and loves us. He has an Eternal-Life plan for our lives and He's always with us as that plan unfolds. Jesus never sends us out alone. He goes before us to clear the path. He pushes aside the thorns and thistles that block our progress and with a loving voice He says come along with Me, you and I, we'll travel this road together.
Jesus is our Friend. And brave too. He's the kind of Commander that leads from the front where the pain is ~ not the kind that sends you into harm's way while He stays safe to the rear. The Cross in the Middle was where the Medals Of Honor grow and His Cross was unselfish heroics, steadfast courage, stout-hearted fortitude ~ founded in Love. Jesus is our Brave Leader who goes before us saying "Follow Me."
And Jesus Saves too.
I walked in the rain agonizing about my sins before Jesus saved me, but now I no longer fear a Holy God rightly offended by my sins and demanding the claims of Justice be paid. Now when the Father looks at me, He sees His Son Jesus and His Cross, and He stamps Paid In Full on His ledger book because The Old Account Was Settled Long Ago when I knelt before Heaven's Throne Of Mercy and Jesus from His Throne Of Grace saved me. "What a friend we have in Jesus. All Our sins and griefs to bear." Thank You , Lord Jesus.
The Lord Jesus not only saved me, but He has a plan to save the world ~ this makes good sense since "God . . .loved the world" and Jesus promised He'd make "everything new." Jesus my Friend is King Of Kings and Lord Of Lords and He's going to rescue the human race from Sin and Evil. Christendom now looks forward to a bright cheerful victorious future thanks to His plan to save the world. Thank You Lord Jesus for saving the human race.
