We Need Jesus More Than Ever

If the world needs anything right now, it’s Jesus. We need Jesus.

The prince of this world deceives Christians and non-believers of our real needs. 

But what and who the world needs right now is Jesus.

Even believers must rein ourselves in from everything the world offers. 

So how much more do those who don’t know Christ fail to realize their real needs.

Still, with all that’s currently going on in the world: evil, suffering, division, hatred, and troubled hearts, it’s no wonder we turn to things appearing to meet our deepest needs.

Let’s look at some of the enemy’s deceptions.

1 Timothy 6:10, “For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.” (NIV)

Yet, a few verses before notes, “But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it.” 1 Timothy 6:6-7 (NIV)

The chapter encourages believers to flee the love of money and pursue righteousness. (I Timothy 6:11)

Perhaps you fight this inner hunger in your life.
