Jesus' friends

Also Jesus he had friends, they were Martha, Mary and Lazarus. Their story is told in Gospel according to John, where they are described as members of a family that lived in the village of Bethany.

Their friendship with Jesus was not manifested only in moments of joy, but above all in those of pain. A practical example is the death of Lazarus, when the sisters were devastated at the sight of Jesus they said these words to him "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."

Jesus was moved by the faith and pain of Mary and Martha and consoled them by saying: "I am the resurrection and the life; whoever believes in me, even if he dies, will live“. At the following scene, Jesus went to the tomb of Lazarus and ordered the stone that covered it to be removed. So, he called Lazarus out of the tomb, and Lazarus got up and came back to life.

In these verses written in the Gospel there is enclosed the sense of friendship, being there especially in the worst moments, there is enclosed the true meaning of friendship. In fact, friendship is one of God's favorite ways to manifest the His love for each of us. Friends were also indispensable in the story of Jesus and how could we ever do without them?
