b'A true friend will be by your side through anything, good or bad. They won\\u2019t abandon you or just tell you what to do and then leave. They\\u2019ll be with you no matter what.\\nJesus, who is fully God and fully human, is our truest friend. He promises to never forsake us (Deuteronomy 31:8). We can know He\\u2019ll never leave us in the dust because He beat sin\\u2014the very thing that separates us from Him; He laid down His life for us on the cross so we could have peace with Him (Romans5:1-8). That is real love and friendship: He\\u2019d rather suffer and die on a cross than let us suffer by spending an eternity without God, who is the Creator of the universe, the definition of good, and the source of life (John 15:13). \\nNot only is Jesus the truest and most extraordinary friend anyone could have, He is also our Brother. Through faith in Him, Jesus makes a way for us to become children of God (John 1:12). And, if He has done all this for us, we can lean on Him, no matter what comes (Matthew 28:20; Romans 8:31-39). \\u2022 Aidan Mencer\\n\\u2022 What surprised you the most about today\\u2019s devotion? \\n\\u2022 What questions do you have about Jesus being our Brother and Friend?\\n\\u2022 What does it mean to belong to Jesus?
