During the crucifixion, most people deserted and abandoned Jesus — but a few remained at His side. In the dying moments of Jesus, He addressed a few individuals or ‘friends of the cross’ and by examining these interactions, we can learn a lot about our Savior and what it means to follow Him today.

Jeff continues our sermon by looking at ‘The Friends,’ from Mark 2. Not much is said about these friends, but our unsung heroes were willing to carry their loved one, dig through a roof, and exercise their faith, just to get someone in front of Jesus. Simply put: let’s all be the kinds of friends who do whatever it takes to get people to Jesus.
