One day Jesus feeds a throng of people by multiplying a few small loaves of bread and a couple dried fish (John 6:1-14)—but the next day the people are hungry again! Jesus tries to point them (and us) to spiritual nourishment that satisfies our hearts forever.
The name Jesus means “God saves”. We look for salvation in many things – money, relationships, accomplishments, etc.- only to be disappointed. There is only one place where we will find true salvations from our skewed world… his name is Jesus.
Every great movie and book needs a deliverer. Instinctively, within all of us, we understand that we cannot redeem ourselves. We need help. This is why Jesus came.
He was chosen. He was chosen to redeem us from the darkness that threatens to overwhelm us. Jesus’ birth, life and death was not an accident… and neither are you. Jesus was chosen to save the world. Jesus chose to give his life for you.
