 Choice excerpts from Thomas Brooks

Such a friend

"There is a friend who sticks closer than
 a brother." Proverbs 18:24

Such a friend is Christ. He is so a friend
to every one of His people—as if He were
a friend to none besides. Christ is . . .
 an omnipotent friend;
 an omniscient friend;
 an omnipresent friend;
 an indeficient friend;
 a sovereign friend;
 an immutable friend;
 a watchful friend;
 a loving friend;
 a faithful friend;
 a compassionate friend;
 a close friend,
 a universal friend—a friend in
     all cases and in all places,
 our first friend,
 a constant friend—"Whom He loves,
    He loves to the end." John 13:1
