Many today say that they don’t have a need for Jesus. They go to work, have homes, put food on their tables, raise families without His help. In fact, daily activities go on but the world can’t really make sense without Him.
Truth. The truth is in Christ, “in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (Colossians 2:3). We cannot understand the truth without Him. To make sense of the world, we need Jesus to lead us.
Life. The life we have will eventually end. To keep living, we need Jesus. "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, but by me” (John 14:6). Eternal life comes through Him.
Death. None of us escapes death. Yet, in the Resurrection, Jesus defeated death for us. It didn’t hold Him and He offers the gift of life to each of us if we live in Him. Sin. Even the holiest of us sins. Without Jesus, what becomes of us? He “gave himself as a ransom for all” (1 Timothy 2:6). If we don’t accept His price, our sins come back to us for eternity.
Suffering. Modern science can alleviate but not eliminate some of the world’s suffering. Jesus provides comfort and healing to those who trust Him and surrender to Him.
