Topic:THE ONLY WAY
Bible Passage:John 3:1-5 There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews:
The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Message
Many people are lost and aimlessly wandering in the wilderness of life. Unfortunately they may not realise their state of helplessness and hopelessness because the devil has blindfolded them (John 12:40,2 Corinthians 4:4). Thank God! There is way out for you.
SIGNS THAT YOU NEED HELP
Insataiable Hunger: Are you hungry? Not physical hungry ,but do you have a hunger for something more in life?Is there something deep inside of you that never seems to be satisfied?if so,that hunger is for God and Jesus is the answer John 6:35
Confusion, are you confused? Can you find a path of purpose in life? If so, Jesus is the way out.John 8:12
closed Doors: Do you feel like you are locked out of life ?Are you looking for an entrance into fulfilling life? If so,Jesus is the door. Isiah 22
The reason you feel hungry,the reason you seem to be lost in darkness,the reason you cannot find meaning in life is that you are separated from God.The Bible tell us that we have sinned, and are therefore, separated from God.(Romans3:23). We are created to have relationship with God.
Jesus took our sins upon himself (Isiah 53:4-5) and died in our place (Romans 5:8),taking the punishment that we deserve. If we place our faith in Jesus ,trusting His death as the payment for ours sins,all of our sins will be forgiven and washed away.We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied (Matthew 5:6),We will know we will have life after we die.
Action point: The hunger that you feel is a spiritual hunger and it can only be satisfied by Jesus.
Praying point: Lord grant me the grace to be spiritually hungry for you. Amen
