This past Memorial Day, our favorite preacher Chris Carrillo delivered a wonderfully warm message to the folks gathered at Care-age of Brookfield for the Christian Music Hour. In a sermon entitled “Jesus Our Friend,” Chris drew from King David’s experience with friendships in 1 Samuel 17-20—specifically, his friendships with Jonathan and with God Himself.
Jesus wants to be your friend, Chris pointed out. And He proved it by laying down His life for you. I hope you’ll take a few minutes to listen to what Chris had to say about this most critical subject.

Then, if Jesus is not yet your friend, why not change that situation today? Examine the evidence for His divine authority, and then deliver your own heartfelt message to Him—something along these lines:
Dear Lord Jesus, I admit that I’m a sinner, incapable of saving myself and therefore headed for an eternity in hell. But I believe that You, God the Son, died on the cross to pay the penalty for the sin of the entire world, including mine. Now, as I turn from my sin and to You, I ask for Your forgiveness and place my trust entirely in You. Thank You for the free gift of eternal life, my Lord and Savior. It’s in your name that I pray, amen.
If you prayed such a prayer, don’t wait another day: Get yourself a Bible and read it daily. Then find a good Bible-teaching church to help you grow in the Lord.
