No one knows your friend better than Jesus. As you watch the life of Jesus, in the Bible, you see Him going around healing those who came to Him. When Jesus met a woman at a well and was reaching out to her greatly damaged life, He let her know that He knew all about her.

Jesus said to the woman at the well: “The fact is, you have had five husbands, and the man you now have is not your husband. What you have just said is quite true (John 4:18 NIV).” He knew all about her without her even telling Him her name. Jesus knows your friend personally; and, He loves them deeply.

To the Jews who had believed Him, Jesus said, “If you hold to My teaching, you are really My disciples. Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free” (John 8:31-32 NIV). Not only does Jesus have the truth that will set your friend free, He is the truth that will set them free. Human counsolers can give them advice, sympathy, and a listening ear. Jesus can give them love, understanding, a relationship, and can heal them.

Jesus said, in Revelation 3:20 (NIV): “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me.”

The problem they see may not be the big problem that is causing all their other problems. Below are the choices Jesus is offering your friend:
