Jesus gives us the definition of a true friend in John 15:13-15: "Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.”
In today’s top ten, we identify ten inspirational friendships from the Bible from David and Jonathan to Ruth and Naomi to Mary, Martha, Lazarus, and Jesus. Scriptures referenced include 2 Kings 2:2, 9-12; 1 Corinthians 4:17; Ruth 1:3-17; Acts 15; Philemon 1:12-18; and John 11:3-35.
