We all know people who like to brag about knowing famous people; we may have even done it ourselves. But, have we ever told people about our Best Friend- the One who would make any celebrity look like a nobody? I’m talking about Jesus. He’s our closest Friend, and if we’ve never told anyone about Him, we need to.

I don’t call you servants any longer; servants don’t know what the master is doing, but I have told you everything the Father has said to Me. I call you friends. John 15:15 (The Voice, VOICE)

It can be impressive to tell people you know a famous athlete, actor, singer, or author. However, no one can compare to the Creator and Master of the universe who lives in us and goes with us everywhere. He is our friend, and there is no better friend than Jesus. We are best friends with the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End. We are best friends with the Author and Finisher of our faith. We are best friends with the Bright and Morning Star. We are best friends with the One who conquered death, hell, and the grave!

It is humbling that the King of Kings and Lord of Lords calls me friend. The Prince of Peace is my Pal, Buddy, and Confidant. Jesus likes to hang out with me- and He likes to hang out with you. Isn’t that a wonderful thought?

Friendship with Jesus is a valuable and precious thing. We should never take it lightly because His blood made it possible. Through His shed blood, we are in covenant with Him and we can be with Him all the time with no fear of separation. No matter how isolated we may be from people, we are never without a friend. Jesus, our Best Friend is always there, and we can count on Him.

So, don’t be shy about bragging about your famous Friend, Jesus. Others may know a famous politician or some other high-ranking person, but we know Jesus Christ, God Himself, and you can’t get any higher than that. He wants to be their Friend too- so let’s not hold out on them. Start telling them about your Best Friend today.
