"This my friend" [Song of Solomon 5:16]

A friend is one of the greatest blessings on earth. Don't tell me about money: love is better than money; sympathy is better than owning property. He is a poor man who has no friends. This world is full of sorrow because it is full of sin. It is a dark place. It is a lonely place. It is a disappointing place. A friend is like the brightest ray of the sun on a spring day. Friendship eliminates half of our troubles and doubles our joys. A real friend is scarce and rare.

There are many who will eat, and drink, and laugh with us in the sunshine of prosperity. There are few who will stand by us in the days of darkness--few who will love us when we are sick, helpless, and poor--few, above all, who will care for our souls.

Do any of you want a real friend? I recommend one to you this day. I know of One who "is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." [Proverbs 18:24] I know of One who is ready to be your friend for time and for eternity, if you will receive Him. The friend I want you to know is Jesus Christ. Happy is that family in which Christ has the foremost place! Happy is that person whose best friend is Christ!

I. Do we want a "friend in need?" Such a friend is the Lord Jesus Christ.

II. Do you want a friend who is absolutely capable to meet all your needs? Such a friend is the Lord Jesus Christ.

III. Do we want "a mighty and powerful friend?" Such a friend is Jesus Christ.

IV. Do we want "a loving and affectionate friend?" Such a friend is Jesus Christ.

V. Do we want "a wise and prudent friend?" Such a friend is the Lord Jesus Christ.

VI. Do we want "a tested and proved friend?" Such a friend is Jesus Christ.

VII. Last, but not least, do we want "an unfailing friend?' Such a friend is the Lord Jesus Christ.
