WE NEED JESUS!

The events of this world, continue to cause a flood of emotions. Frustration, heartache, anxiety, grief, anger. Clearly we have a problem of evil; that can only be acknowledged as such, if we take in account that everything has an opposite position, which is good. Which "everyone" seems to acknowledge as being, in their daily lives.

So how in a world full of "good" people, can we be witnessing so much evil? 

Simple. Goodness is not enough.

Evil resides in the hearts of all of us, until is it replaced by the person of Jesus Christ. At which time; the war of internal conflict begins. To live as Christ in us or to give to our selfish desires.

Nothing else is working. Other religions; more laws; different politicians; increased taxes; raised awareness; new regulations... all of these problems and none of the fixes actually fix (at least not long term).

So, on this #communitySaturday, what do we say? How are we to respond? I have but one question, as I shake my head in disbelief to what we are experiencing in this world.

When will the world see... We NEED JESUS!!!  I leave you with the lyrics from this great song, performed by one of my favorite bands... and in a slightly different change of pace, as you pray today, pray these lyrics; that through the churches conversations with community, people would come to know Christ and understand, He is all there is.

WE NEED JESUS!

- PNC

When will the world // See that we need Jesus?
If we open our eyes // We will all realize // That He loves us
When will the world // See that we need Jesus?
When our hearts are as one // And believe that He's the Son of our God

[Chorus]
The Lord is our God // And we shall never want
The Lord is our God // And we shall live forever
When we share the love of Jesus // See each other as He sees us
Then His love will see us through // His love will see us through

When will the world // See that we need Jesus?
When sister and brother // Love one another as one
When will the world // See that we need Jesus?
Will we ever understand // Jesus is the Son of man?
We must live in the shadow of His love

When will the world // See that we need Jesus?
If we open our eyes // We will all realize
That He loves us // When will the world
See that we need Jesus? // When our hearts are as one
And believe that He's the Son of our God
