Why Do We Need Jesus?

Why Do We Need Jesus? Using John 6:24-35, Dr. Daniel offered a response to this question. After feeding the 5,000, Jesus and the disciples left, and the people began to look for Jesus. People are still searching for Jesus today. Rich people, poor people, young people, old people, peole of every race and nationality are searching for Jesus today. 1. People who are on the verge of losing hope need J

esus. When Jesus says, "I AM..." the impact is to bring hope. 2. People who have no purpose for living need Jesus. So often we look to (material) things to fill our lives. But only Jesus can satisfy the soul. 3. People who have a great emptiness in their lives need Jesus. We can perhaps go a few weeks without food, or perhaps a few days with out water, but we must not go even an hour without Jesus! The greatest failure in life is failing to go deep enough to discover the power of God and faith. How about you? Are you searching for Jesus? Is there emptiness in your life today? Do you need Jesus in your life? Jesus told the crowd who came seeking him that they needed bread that endures unto eternal life. They said to him, "Sir...give us this bread." Jesus said, "I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry and he who believes in me will never be thirsty."
