Be a Friend Like Jesus

This rhythmic, rhyming poem urges the listener, “Be a friend like Jesus/ Love with all your might/ You’ll share His joy with others/ As God smiles with delight.” By focusing on different interactions from
the Gospels in which Jesus was a friend, this poem illustrates the depth and beauty of the kind of friendship Jesus offered. The poem concludes with a challenge to be the kind of friend who even loves
their enemies, just as Jesus did when He died.
