Who Meets Your Deepest Need? - Love Worth Finding - May 5
May 5, 2024 – Who Meets Your Deepest Need?
John 3:16
Sermon: 1904 Friendship with Jesus, Part 2
Pray Over This
“For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.”
John 3:16
Ponder This
Do you know why they crucified Jesus? They said, “This man is a friend of sinners.” That’s why they crucified Him. Do you know I’m so glad He is? Where would I be if He were not? Where would you be if Jesus were not a friend of sinners? Jesus did “not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance” (Luke 5:32). He doesn’t love us because we’re good; He loves us by His grace. He doesn’t make us good so He can love us; He loves us so He can make us good. Isn’t that wonderful? Have you received that love today?
Your deepest need is not for physical intimacy but for emotional and spiritual intimacy. The deepest need is to have somebody who understands us—our fears, hurts, aspirations, and disappointments. The human heart yearns for such a friend. His name is Jesus. It’s Jesus you need. What a friend we have in Him.
- How has Jesus been a friend to you?
- What are some things you look for in human friendship that only God can provide?
Practice This
Spend some time in prayer thanking Jesus for being a friend to you.
