BUENOS DIAS MIS AMIGOS. Que el Señor los bendiga.
Are you hungry? Not physically 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, Jesus is the way! 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” (John 6:35).
Are you confused? Can you never seem to find a path or purpose
in life? Does it seem like someone has turned out the lights and you cannot
find the switch? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus proclaimed, “I am
the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but
will have the light of life” (John
8:12).
Do you ever feel like you are locked out of life? Have you tried so many doors,
only to find that what is behind them is empty and meaningless? Are you looking
for an entrance into a fulfilling life? If so, Jesus is the way of salvation!
Jesus declared, “I am the gate; whoever enters through me will be saved. He
will come in and go out, and find pasture” (John 10:9).
Do other people always let you down? Have your relationships been shallow and
empty? Does it seem like everyone is trying to take advantage of you? If so,
Jesus is the way! Jesus said, “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd lays
down his life for the sheep. I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my
sheep know me” (John
10:11, 14).
Do you wonder what happens after this life? Are you tired of living your life
for things that only rot or rust? Do you sometimes doubt whether life has any
meaning? Do you want to live after you die? If so, Jesus is the way of
salvation! Jesus declared, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes
in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will
never die” (John
11:25-26).
What is the way? What is the truth? What is the life? Jesus answered, “I am the
way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me” (John 14:6).
The hunger that you feel is a spiritual hunger, and can only be filled by
Jesus. Jesus is the only one who can lift the darkness. Jesus is the door to a
satisfying life. Jesus is the friend and shepherd that you have been looking
for. Jesus is the life—in this world and the next. Jesus is the way of
salvation!
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 tells us that we have all sinned, and are therefore separated from God (Ecclesiastes 7:20;
Romans 3:23).
The void you feel in your heart is God missing from your life. We were created
to have a relationship with God. Because of our sin, we are separated from that
relationship. Even worse, our sin will cause us to be separated from God for
all of eternity, in this life and the next (Romans 6:23;
John 3:36).
How can this problem be solved? Jesus is the way of salvation! Jesus took our
sin upon Himself (2
Corinthians 5:21). Jesus died in our place (Romans 5:8), taking the punishment that we
deserve. Three days later, Jesus rose from the dead, proving His victory over
sin and death (Romans
6:4-5). Why did He do it? Jesus answered that question Himself:
“Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends” (John 15:13).
Jesus died so that we could live. If we place our faith in Jesus, trusting His
death as the payment for our sins, all of our sins are forgiven and washed
away. We will then have our spiritual hunger satisfied. The lights will be
turned on. We will have access to a fulfilling life. We will know our true best
friend and good shepherd. We will know that we will have life after we die—a
resurrected life in heaven for eternity with Jesus!
“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever
believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life” (John 3:16).
