MINI BIBLE STUDY FOR THE DAY We all need close friends, and the Bible has a lot to say about what a true friend is. A true friend is one who loves you no matter what situation youve got yourself into. A friend loves at all times, And a brother is born for adversity. —Proverbs 17:17 A true friend can be closer to you than your own family. A man of too many friends comes to ruin, But there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother. —Proverbs 18:24 And a true friend will tell you the truth, even when the truth hurts. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, But deceitful are the kisses of an enemy. —Proverbs 27:6 Even Jesus had three of His twelve disciples turn into His close inner circle. Six days later Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John his brother, and led them up on a high mountain by themselves. —Matthew 17:1 See also Luke 8:51 and 9:28. The three, Peter and the two brothers James and John, were the only ones to witness: The raising of Jarius daughter. And He allowed no one to accompany Him, except Peter and James and John the brother of James. —Mark 5:37 The Transfiguration. Six days later, Jesus took with Him Peter and James and John, and brought them up on a high mountain by themselves. And He was transfigured before them —Mark 9:2 Jesus prayer in Gethsemane. They came to a place named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, Sit here until I have prayed. And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be very distressed and troubled. —Mark 14:32-33
