Jesus said,

"Ye are they which have continued with me in my temptations"(Luke 22:28)

이 부분을 여름친구와 제비같은 친구로 풀어내는 상상력에 감탄하게 된다.. 

"Some friends are like the Swallow, they come in the Summer and sing with you, but when it is Winter, cold and frost, then farewell, they must seek a warmer climate. These are summer friends, while the summer of comfort, the summer of riches, the summer of outward contentment lasteth, you cannot be rid of them : but if the winter come, the winter of trouble, and sorrow, and poverty, and sickness, they are gone : they will not once look on you, the pass on the other side of the way, as the Levite did when he saw the man lye wounded and weltring in his blood, Luke 10:32. these are summer friends, not winter friends."(J. Caryle)
