Newspaper Page TextWeekly Devofional By REV. LON L. HADWIN, Pastor of Nasarene Church UP WITH JESUS UP WITH JESUS! Why am I so happy today? Happy because Jesus is a Friend of mine. In Matthew 11:19c it says, Jesus, “a friend of publicans and sin ners.” Do you need a friend? Have you any friends? Jesus wants to be your friend. Will you be a friend of His? How many times have you no ticed at work, at play or at school those people who have no friends. They stay by themselves, they are lonely and very unhappy. Have you ever noticed how people avoid some people, they just do not have any friends. I believe that Jesus wants to be a friend of those who have no friends. The poor, the lonely, the sick, the rich, the middle class and those who have no seemly earthly friends. If Jesus was here today on earth in the flesh who would He be seeking? He would seek those who need help. In talking about Jesus as a friend the hymn writer says it so well “A Friend when other friendships cease, a Friend when others fail, A Friend who gives us joy and peace, A Friend when foes assail. A Friend when sick ness lays me low, A Friend when death draws near, A Friend as through the vale I go, A Friend to help and cheer. A Friend when life’s short race is o’er, A Friend when earth is past, A Friend to meet on heaven’s shore, a Friend when home at last.” Praise the Lord! UP WITH JESUS! What a Friend we have in Jesus. What fellowship. What communion. I am so glad that Jesus is a friend of mine. How can Jesus become your friend if He is not already? Be fore Jesus can be your friend, He must become your Savior. Jesus can become your Savior by Acknowledging that you are a sinner (Rom. 3:23), by Repent ing of your sins (Acts 3:19); by Confeuing your sins (I Jn. 1:9); by Forsaking your sins (Isa. 55:- 7); by Believing (Rom. 10:1) and by Receiving (Jn. 1:11 and 12). Why not bow your head in prayer and ask Jesus to become your Savior. Then Jesus can be VOTE FOR Herbert Shapard For Butts County Commissioner For Post 3 A MAN THAT WILL SERVE ALL THE PEOPLE EARN 6% Two Year Savings Certificates ($5,000 minimum) NEWTON FEDERAL Savings & Loan Association 1182 Washington Street Covington, Ga.
