This World Needs Jesus

The world in which we live is full of anger and strife.  This world is a world full of sorrows and headed toward a dark deep abyss.  There is a lot of doom and gloom around these days.  There is much anxiety, depression, worry, and blame.  One group blames another, but the main problem is the one of the human heart.  We all have a heart problem.  We are actually all born with a sinful nature.  Our hearts are bent away from the Lord, the true living God, even at birth.

Every human being is wonderfully created and deeply loved by the Maker of the universe, the true living God.  God Created everything seen and unseen.  He made you and me.  We are created in the image of Almighty God.  God loves each one of us with a deep and unconditional love.  He knows our hearts and our sinfulness.

God demonstrated His great love toward each human being by sending His one and only Son, Jesus Christ, to this world to die on the Cross for all of our sins.  Jesus lived a perfect sinless life and took our sin upon Himself and He went obediently to the Cross where He shed His blood and died for you and me.  God then raised Jesus from the dead on the third day and He is now at the right hand of God in Heaven awaiting the day when He will return to the earth bringing the Kingdom of God to the earth in full completion.

The Lord didn't leave us as orphans to fend for ourselves until He returns, but He gives the Holy Spirit, to indwell each person who receives the Lord Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior.  We who are believers in Christ are children of God.  The Lord Jesus paid our sin debt.  Jesus reconciles us back to the Father.  We are saved by the grace of Jesus Christ and we enter into a relationship with Him by faith.

This world needs Jesus.  Jesus is the answer to the world's problems and to people's heart problem.  We are all people who are loved by our Maker and He wants to have a relationship with each one of us and that is only available through the Lord Jesus Christ.  Jesus loves you and He wants you to come to Him by faith and trust in His grace.

The hatred needs to stop.  The anger must be put aside.  We need to repent and humble ourselves before our God and Creator.  There is not one of us who is worthy of God's love and His forgiveness.  He loves us despite ourselves and His offer of salvation is for everyone who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ and His finished work on the Cross for our sins.

Let's humble ourselves before the Lord our God and trust Him.  If you haven't received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior I pray that you will take that step today.  Jesus loves you and He doesn't want to see you separated from God for all eternity.  Jesus paid the price for our sins so we can have forgiveness of our sins and we can have an eternal home in Heaven.  We come to Him by faith.

I would encourage you to trust Jesus as your Lord and Savior if you haven't done so already before time runs out.  We are not guaranteed tomorrow.  The day of salvation is this very day.

For all of us who have received Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior let's humble ourselves and walk in the Spirit each and every day.

Lord, Heavenly Father,
We praise Your Name.
You are our Maker and You are the Creator of all things.
Father God we ask that You would help us to love You more and help us to love each other with a great love.
Lord Jesus thank You for Your sacrifice on the Cross for our sins.
Holy Spirit thank You for teaching us and revealing Jesus to us through the Bible.
Lord, lead us and guide our steps.
Give us a fresh power.
Grant to us a fresh faith.
I surrender all to You O Lord my God.
May Your will be done.
In Jesus Name we pray,
Amen.
