Mary, Martha and Lazarus were three of Jesus’ trusted and cherished adult friends. Are we called to be a friend to Jesus?
Throughout the years, many have sung the hymn, “What A Friend We Have In Jesus.” It’s not hard to think of Jesus as our friend, but do we ever consider how we might be a friend to Jesus? Mary, Martha, and Lazarus were Jesus’s friends, and their friendship was very dear to Jesus. Does the resurrected Jesus, the one who now sits at the right hand of God still want us and maybe need us to be his friend? How do we do that?
