Previous Episode: 1 Kings 4 - The Golden Age of Israel and Solomon’s Broadness of Heart
One of the greatest gifts that God gives us in life is the gift of friendship. King Solomon had an outstanding friend, Hiram king of Tyre. By examining Hiram’s friendship with Solomon, we learn how to be a good friend to others, and how this friendship between a Jewish King and a Gentile King resulted in the construction of the temple of God. Our relationship with Jesus Christ is first and foremost, as our Savior, but to build on that relationship we need to be a friend of Jesus. The paradigm of love for Jesus was the love of friendship. So, every love that is worthwhile ought to be the love of friendship. Jesus invites us into friendship. Other passages mentioned include: Mark 11:17; John 15:13-15; Proverbs 18:24.
