2017 01 31 MM Youve Got A Friend

Topher Wiles

Good morning, this is Topher, Gabriel , and Ethan from Washington Church of Christ bringing you a Message Minute.   Do you know why I write Message Minutes?  It's because my family and I need a positive moment in our day and we think you might need it too.  Today, let's focus on James Taylor's 1971 rendition of "You've Got a Friend in Me."   The third stanza contains these Lyrics: "If the sky above you should turn dark and full of clouds and that old north wind should begin to blow, keep your head together and call my name out loud. Soon I will be knocking upon your door. You just call out my name, and you know where ever I am I'll come running to see you again. Winter, spring, summer, or fall, all you have to do is call and I'll be there."   I've got quite a few friends that will be there whenever I call and that's the type of friend I want to be as well.   Yet there is a friend I have embodies these lyrics best.  In John 15:15 He said these words. "No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing; but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you."   Today, focus on being a friend like the one this song describes and focus on thanking that Friend that is the greatest of all friends, Jesus. You'll be glad you did.
