Christ is on your side

• Psalm 118: 6 : ON MY SIDE

The Lord is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?

• John 15: 14, 15 : BEST FRIEND

And you are my friends, if you obey me.

Servants don’t know what their master is doing, and so I don’t speak to you as my servants. I speak to you as my friends, and I have told you everything that my Father has told me.

• John 15: 18 : THERE FOR YOU

I won’t leave you like orphans. I will come back to you.

• Genesis 45: 4-5, Joseph Reveals Who He is

Then Joseph said to his brothers, “Come close to me.” When they had done so, he said, “I am your brother Joseph, the one you sold into Egypt! And now, do not be distressed and do not be angry with yourselves for selling me here, because it was to save lives that God sent me ahead of you.
