I watched “The Waltons” when I was growing up. John-Boy had a friend named Marsha who was fickle—she could never make up her mind if she wanted to be friends or not. We probably all know people like Marsha. But Jesus isn’t fickle. He loved His disciples, and He maintained His commitment to them by going to the cross as a sacrifice for their sins. Someone who loves enough to lay down His life for His friends is the kind of Friend I can trust to never betray me or forsake me. There is no better friend than Jesus.

Something of value to ponder: Am I as faithful to Him as He is to me?
