Proverbs
18:24 states, “A man that hath friends must show himself friendly: and there is
a friend that sticketh closer than a brother.” Today is my brother Nathan’s
birthday. He is older than me. He always fought my battles when I was a
child. He is the kind of brother that
everyone would like to have. He has always been a dear friend to me.
Since I have such a wonderful friend in my brother, I have an enriched
concept of how wonderful a friend Jesus Christ can be to me or to any Christian
for that matter. My brother Nathan has
always been there for me throughout my life.
However, my Bible teaches me that Christ is a friend that will even
stick closer than my brother Nathan.
My brother Nathan is the kind of person that I like to introduce to
others. I often brag on him to my other
friends and business acquaintances.
Again, my relationship with him helps me to trust Jesus to never leave
me or forsake me. My elder brother Jesus Christ my Savior and sanctifier has
been a friend that has stayed close to me ever since I came to know Him on July
22nd 1967. Although my brother Nathan is
worth bragging on every now and then, my Savior Jesus Christ is worth my
continual praise!
