Lessons on choosing friends from Jesus’ model
1.
Your choice in friends reveals who you are
Be a friend: Prov 18:24 “A man who has friends 6must himself be friendly, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother”
Jesus had an inner circle of close friends
The Venn Diagram circles that connect commonalities
Jesus chose people that would go with him to the deep
Jesus chose people who were working
You have different circles
Circles that connect acquaintances (work, school, etc)
Circles that connect core values (faith)
Moving people from outer circles to inner circles
Test them with small things to develop trust
Jesus did this with Simon (Peter, James, and John)
2. Friends should look for the best for you
Love your friends: Prov 17:17 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”
Jesus told Peter to go out to the deep water for a catch
Peter had worked all night and did not catch anything but He trusted Jesus
They caught their biggest catch ever
They left their businesses and followed Jesus
They knew Jesus had better for them
3. Friends must be constant in all seasons
You do not want fair weather friends
The story of the bird that did not fly south (freshman year of high school) 1st class of high school - the teacher’s introduction
Prov 17:17 “17 A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”
Networking is a one and done type of relationship
You only get business cards and a handshake
Relationships must be forever
The Story of the Prodigal Son
You don’t know you have a friend until you have lived all seasons with them
4. Understand that even Jesus had a Judas
In this world you will have trouble
Be wise when you choose friends
Even when you exercised great caution you may still end up with a Judas
Jesus still called Judas friend
Do not repay evil for evil
Imagine the heartache suffered by Jesus at the hands of Judas
Judas was with Jesus every day for around three years
He saw the miracles
He saw the dead come back to life
He saw the deaf hear
He saw the blind eyes opened
He saw the mute tongue loosed
He saw the demon possessed delivered
His problem was that he always selfish
Selfish people can become your Judas
Don’t be a Judas, put others before yourself
5. Friends add value to the relationship
Prov 17:17 “A friend loves at all times, and a brother is born for adversity.”
In your time of trouble, real friends will be there
In your time of need, real friends will be there
In times of need, be there for your friends
Those that only take and never give are selfish
Add value to your relationships
