What else is there to live for if we don’t have Jesus?
I’ve traveled the world, seen more than most, done more than most, and achieved more than I ever thought I would. But what good is any of it if we don’t truly know Jesus?
Nothing satisfies when we settle for simply knowing about Him. Christianity is not about knowing facts about Jesus. It’s about knowing Him.
Ministry and church work can become filled with agendas, politics, bills, debt, expectations, and people who love the sound of their own voice more than the people they’re preaching to. Somewhere in all the noise, we can lose sight of Jesus.
Is there anyone who will put God above the opinions of this world? Is there anyone who can say, “I’ve had what I wanted, I’ve seen what this world offers, and only God satisfies my soul”?
Crowds cannot satisfy us. Success cannot satisfy us. Recognition cannot satisfy us. People cannot satisfy us.
It is better to have the company of God than the crowds of this world.
Living at peace with God is better than living for the applause of people. I would rather have Jesus and His presence than everything this world could ever offer me.
