Friends you can count on when the going get rough

Morning: Psalms 95, 22; Genesis 22:1-14; I Peter 1:10-20; John 13:36-38

Evening: Psalms 40:1-15, 54; John 19:38-42

You know, I suspect Jesus has a lot of friends who would rather not demonstrate their friendship publicly. But even such quiet friends, if they are true, come through when the going get rough. Joseph and Nicodemus kept their friendship with Jesus quiet, for fear that it would be misunderstood by others. But, in the end, Joseph and Nicodemus put friendship ahead of fear. When Jesus’s close friends shrank back in fear, these two came and buried him. You probably know a few quiet friends of Jesus - the ones you can count on when the going gets rough.
