Real Friends | A Sermon on John 1:35–51 There is nothing more valuable than a genuine friend. But what do real friends do? Sometimes it is easier to know what friends don’t do. In a world that suffers from loneliness and relational brokenness, God’s Word offers a clear and compelling picture for what real friendship truly looks like. Real friends are pointing friends to Jesus. Why? Because people’s eternity matters more than present comfort. People cannot believe unless they hear, and they cannot hear unless someone tells them. And that’s where friends come in. Real friends care enough to say, “Come and see Jesus.” Yes, it may feel awkward. Yes, we may wonder what good could come from “going to church.” But Jesus knows us, sees us, and cares for us. Friendship Sunday isn’t just about filling pews – it’s about real friendship, the kind that points beyond ourselves to the Friend who laid down His life for us. Jesus, the Lamb of God, gives us forgiveness, a new name, and eternal life. And because He is the Friend who cares for us most, we joyfully tell others: “Come and see.” Visit TheWayChurchVA.com to learn more about The Way Church in Fredericksburg, VA!
