Jesus answered, “I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.”  John 14:6(NIV)

My son earns his living sharing an amazing product that is so beneficial to so many. It is one of those things that you don’t know that you need, until you need it. It is such a blessing to know people are being helped for their future, but they have to believe that to invest in it. It is one of those products that simply sells itself. My son gets to share it with folks, they realize their need, they want to be prepared, and they decide it is worth their time and money. So they act on it.

I have listened to him talk about this and how he has the best job in the world because he gets to talk with people and there’s no pressure. Just presenting the information in an honest, clear, and friendly way allows people to see the benefits and most decide it’s worth it. My son has said, “I know how valuable it is. My job is to share the opportunity, it is their job to see if they want it.”

Every time he talks, I cannot help but think about Jesus. I am absolutely convinced that if we told people about Jesus in an honest, clear and friendly way, people would see who He is and many would decide He is worth their time and energy. Jesus “sells” Himself. We don’t need to add to Him, make Him seem better than He is, attach any strings if people chose Him, or take it personally if people don’t.

If we could clear away the cobwebs of church life, prejudices and presumptions, and our own sins, and just share Jesus and who He really is, I believe so many would realize He is exactly what they’re looking for!

What are some things we are looking for and how does Jesus fill that need?

1. Someone to love us-John 3:16  Is there anyone else Who has given their very life for any of us?
2. Someone to see us-Psalm 138:1-2  He knows our very thoughts!
3. Someone to care about us-Romans 8:34  Jesus prays for us and knows our needs!
4. Someone to give us insight and wisdom-John 14:6  Jesus is Truth-To know Him is to know Truth.
5. Someone to talk to-1 John 1:3   We get to fellowship (hang out) with Jesus 24/7! He is there any time we need or want Him!
6. Stability in our life now and in the future-Psalm 62:2 He is our rock, and we cannot be shaken.
7. A plan for our life-Jeremiah 29:11 He has a plan for all of us. We are not here by  mistake.
8. A plan for the future-1 John 5:14 We can KNOW we will live forever in Heaven with Jesus. We can KNOW we have eternal life.

Jesus truly is everything we could ever want or need.

“Heavenly Father, Help us to see Jesus for all He truly is without anything blocking our view. Thank you for the precious gift of your Son.”

For His Glory
