We often view dependency on others as a sign of weakness, but the reality is we were created to live in relationship. After creation, there was one thing that God said was not good: man being alone. Not even God was alone as he had fellowship within the trinity. Friendships are one of the most important influences a person can have, and the Bible gives us a shining example of this in the friendship between David and Jonathan. Jonathan gave up his position of royalty in order to become a loyal friend to David; but this points us to an even greater example of friendship: Jesus. He gave up his throne, came down to earth and gave his life for us, for “greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” And Christ has empowered us to be loyal, transparent and challenging friends to the people around us. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Follow Christ Community Chapel for more! --------------------------------------------------------------------- CCChapel App: http://go.ccchapel.com/app Facebook: https://facebook.com/ccchapel Twitter: https://twitter.com/ccchapel Website: http://ccchapel.com
