Such a friend

(Thomas Brooks, "Apples of Gold" 1660)

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

Such a friend is Jesus. He is so a friend
to every one of His people, as if He were 
a friend to none besides. Jesus 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
