Jesus said to him, "Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip?" —John 14:9

God’s Word makes it clear-the goal of life is knowing Christ. We receive His blessings and know His Word, but do we really know Him?

Jesus said, “…I have called you friends…” (John 15:15). True friendship is rare on earth. With true friends we can pour our hearts out, and spend hours together talking about various things and hours pass by, and you don't even realise it. How awesome it is to have a friend in Jesus! With Him as our best friend we are never lonely. We have total peace and assurance knowing that He is our all in all and there's no room for doubt or fear.

Do you have such a relationship with Jesus?

Jesus Christ: our Victory; our Healer; our Friend; our Joy; our Peace; our Savior. Praise His Holy Name! 🙌

Friend, may you have a wonderful, peaceful, blessed Sunday in Jesus' name, Amen. 🙏

j… jesus oppa ;____;

Am I the asshole for getting my best friend killed?

I swear to God, it was an accident.

My (27) BF (34) has a reputation for getting himself out of any jam you can imagine; and at first it was just a fun little thing the friend group noticed: there goes Oily J wiggling his way out of trouble again. but as the meme evolved in the group, it got to the point where we'd loykey started getting him into situations just to see how he'd get out of 'em, and he akept getting out of em. He was having fun with it too same as us. "Oh you guys," he'd say, "getting me into situations again," before laughing it off and getting out of it, so it was enrichment for our shared enclosures, and as time went on, the situations got more intense.

The trouble is, it turns out that putting a man in too many situations eventually gets the police interested. And not local hobsknockers cops either; they was like, proper three-letter FEDs. They put out a bounty on any information pertaining to his capture and everything. It was good money too so I thought, hey why don't I put J in another situation he can wiggle out of like always (and he'd wiggled outta worse before, so I thought this one'd be relatively mild), and at the next boardgame night (cause it was too late to do anything special for this one) we can buy some extra strong booze and get absolutely blitzed while having a giggle about the situation.

Boardgame night, and we were playing some social deduction nonsense or another and he says: "One of you is gonna betray me tonight." and I can't help but think, looking back on it, that he knew. It's stupid, I know he was talking about the game, but the way he said it, it was like he knew. We all felt it, and we had a big round robin round the table taking turns promising that we'd never betray him. And I said it so easily cause I thought it was true. Sure, I was gonna talk to the feds about a bounty; but, I fully expected my big beautiful oily boy to wiggle his way out of the trouble I was 'bout to cause, and that's not a betrayal. I wasn't lying. I didn't think I was lying.

My big beautiful oily boy didn't manage to wiggle his way out of it. They killed him and I got my blood money. He's gone.

He's gone and I'm devastated, crying, mourning. I loved him so much. We all did. And I can't stop thinking that it's my fault: that I'm the reason he's gone. and it is. and the guilt is eating me up inside. and I just need to talk to someone about it. So, I tell the rest of the group what happened in the group chat, hoping they'd understand that I didn't want this. I didn't want the government's blood money. It was supposed the be a prank. some joint enclosure enrichment. He was supposed to wiggle out of it like he always does... did, i mean.

They call me, among worse things, the asshole and kick me from the group chat. And, I know it's my fault he's dead: I know that. If I didn't do what I did, he wouldn't be dead right now. But, I didn't mean it for it to end up this way. He was supposed to be okay, damn it. I loved him. AITA?

What are these acronyms?

Unguided Hand...

And they stripped him and put a scarlet robe upon him, and plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on his head, and put a reed in his right hand.

American Television after 5 years of pushing for queer representation: I hope you wanted unnecessary drama, angst with a maybe resolution, and three unfulfilling seasons of questionably written flirtation. And that all comes before anything is half-confirmed with a singular lukewarm kissing scene between two conventionally attractive, white bisexual women!

Thai Television .3 seconds after they figured out queer content is marketable: Did you want something kinky, soft, or stupid? Did you want cat ears? We’ve got cat ears! We’ve got safe/sane/consensual OR off-the-charts bad etiquette BDSM. We’ve got college students out the ass! As long as they’re an engineer or architect, choose your flavor. Do you want an age gap or classmates? Something for adults? Teens? Everyone was childhood besties, how about that??? This is a short order restaurant and I will flip you some gays like they’re hotcakes, just tell me what you want.

He will walk with you. He will listen to you. He will never reject you, but in His love, He will not permit you to destroy yourself. He will interpose Himself between you and the path of destruction. And He will stop you. He will plead with you, and if there is a need, He will even personally intervene to turn you around!

Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends. John 15:13-14 

Yes that's Jesus, He calls us His friends. Anybody who says, "I need a friend," He would say to them, "You have a friend."

This friend gave His life to save you. What a friend we have in Jesus!

Pas. Sam Kamalesan

After many years following Jesus, I can say with confidence that there is no better way to live, than with Jesus walking right beside you. Amen! 🙌

Why'd he have to get crucified :( he should have been at the club
