Spiritual Friendships

Too often Christians today get the idea that their faith is only between them and God. They speak of a personal relationship with Jesus and don't think that they need other people to be part of their faith journey. But this study of Peter, James, and John show that they were more than just Jesus' Apostles and even more than his inner circle. Jesus depended on them and shared his most intimate and vulnerable moments with them. They were his friends that helped him in his life and ministry. Perhaps Jesus learned of the importance and value from a special friendship in his family, Ruth and Naomi. Regardless, if even Jesus needed Spiritual friends to walk with him, what makes us think we don't need friends to walk with us?
