Jesus gave His life because He saw us as His friend. He willingly shed His blood to save us from the wrath of God. No man took His life. He humbled Himself because He loved us and as a true friend our only true friend He did not want us to perish, so He gave His life for us. Now, here 's who Jesus considers a friend those who keep His commandments. It is written in Proverbs 17 17 "A friend loveth at all times. " Now, if we are really Jesus 's friend and know that a friend loveth at all times, we will keep His word, and do as He has commanded, which is to love one another as He loved us. We are to walk in righteousness and love. Let 's not take Jesus 's death for granted or let it be vain in our own lives. Know that Jesus did not speak with words only, but He showed us all that He was a friend indeed because we most definitely were in need.
