Friendship is truly one of God’s blessings to mankind. These verses highlight the importance of loyal, supportive friendships, the value of heartfelt advice, and the impact of community in both joyous and challenging times.
The idea of community comes from the sense of responsibility we have for each other. In the bible, God encourages us to take care of our brothers and sisters whether they are friends or enemies. We must remember the importance of maintaining the connection with each other and focusing on building a community of love in words, actions, and prayers.

“My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are my friends if you do what I command.“
— John 15:12-14
REMINDER: Here Jesus is speaking to His disciples about the importance of friendship. Jesus speaks of the ultimate expression of love which is sacrificing one’s life for the sake of friends, foreshadowing His own sacrifice on the cross. Friends love each other the same way that Christ loves us. This is a commandment that reflects the heart of Christianity.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
