Friends

Friends. What a gift! That is, if our friendships are Christ-exalting rather than Christ-condemning.
Now Herod and Pilate became friends with one another that very day; for before they had been at enmity with each other. - Luke 23:12
"That very day" is none other than the day of Christ's crucifixion when he appeared before Pilate, Herod, and Pilate again. What a shame for a friendship to be forged in the crucible of Christ's condemnation! How were your closest friendships forged?
