No! That is not an odd question.
The desire of Jesus is to be a friend to everyone; but not everyone is willing to be a friend with Jesus because not everyone is a Christian. Just because an individual is not Christian, however, does not mean that Jesus would not be, or is not already a friend to them.
The desire of Jesus to be one’s friend is assured through Scripture. A sad fact is that not all individuals will accept, or recognize the friendship of Jesus being offered. I know that in my friends and my own experience, people have refused our offers of friendship. None of us have ever felt good about others refusals of our friendship. This makes me wonder how Jesus must feel as so many people refuse His offer of friendship.
The great thing about Jesus is that His friendship offer continues, even after He has been rebuffed many times. I am certain this is the Sunday He would love to see you in one of His many churches. Come to church this week and learn about His friendship, offered in love.
