What A Friend We Have In Jesus

A classic Christian hymn by Joseph Scriven. The lyrics speak of what a friend we have in Jesus, who knows and understands us intimately, who will not let us go through this life alone, and who will provide us help, peace and comfort in our times of need. In Matthew 11:28, Jesus issues an invitation to all who are tired and frought with troubles - to come to Him and find rest for their souls.

Jesus is indeed our friend because He has borne our sins on Himself in order that we might become friends with God. And in dying for us, He has opened up a new and living way to the Father that we may draw near to Him (Hebrews 10:19-22). So let us draw near to Him for He cares for us and walks with us through the ups and downs of life. He is our refuge and in Him, we find our solace. Thank You Jesus for being our Friend!
