He is Different
We are alike in many ways: we get hungry; we get tired; we get thirsty. We are also alike in the spiritual area in the fact that we have all sinned. In all of human history, only One lived who is different from us and yet like us. He is Jesus the Messiah.
End the Search
Are you still searching, seeking, looking, and longing for something? Do you know what you need? Deep in the heart of every man, woman and child is a longing for rest. Jesus is inviting you to come to Him and find the object of your search. What will you do with His invitation?
Is This the Very Christ
Various religions and sects take different views regarding Jesus of Nazareth. Some say He was an outstanding miracle worker or some say He was a prophet. Christians of every nation, however, believe Jesus to be the promised Messiah and the Saviour of all who accept and believe in Him. Who is Jesus to you?
Obedience Opens Understanding
Obedience opens understanding. Many people hesitate to believe something because they are not able to understand it. They have the mistaken notion that they must understand everything before they believe; when really it is the other way around. We first believe and then we understand.
Living in the Open
We like people who have nothing to hide. We like people whom we can trust. In John 7:1-13 we learn that Jesus is trustworthy. As you think of Jesus, how do you respond to Him? What do you think of Him?
The Final Choice
All of us make choices everyday. Maybe we make simple choices; for example, how to answer a question. There are also choices that have long-lasting results, such as a job, a life partner, a wife, or a husband. However, the most important choice is to follow Jesus.
Beyond the Material
In this life, we are quite limited by location and the hard facts of life. You are limited by your location. Being physical we deal with the material of life. We are up against the hard facts of living from day to day. But our minds can take us beyond the material. By our thoughts, we can transport ourselves far beyond our material surroundings. Jesus taught us some great truth on this in John 6:60-65.
More Than Existence
Our earth is teeming with life: plant life and animal life. Scientists have made hundreds of classifications. There are land animals and sea animals, all shapes, and sizes. They all are affected by the life-death cycle. Some live for many years and some only a few minutes. We are a part of the earth’s life. But we have more than mere existence. We have an unavoidable decision.
Believing for Life
As people, we are able to choose what we accept. We were made to choose. This is both a personal right and a personal responsibility. It is our right to think for ourselves. It is our responsibility because we must live with the results of our choices. Have you considered the claims of Jesus on your life? Have you thought about the consequences of rejecting His offer of salvation?
The True Bread
Bread has been called the staff of life. It is usually made from grain: wheat, barley, rye, or rice. Of course, this bread satisfies only for the day. Is there better bread? Jesus offers us the bread of life.
