Would Jesus Be Enough?

John 6:41 The Jews then complained about Him, because He said, “I am the bread which came down from heaven.”

How often have we read the Bible and concluded that God was right about His people Israel? Over and over again the Jews proved that they were, and still are, a stiffnecked people. However, before we go too far here, let us first look in the mirror and realize that we, His church, have also proven to be a stiffnecked people. How often have we demonstrated, by our actions and attitudes, that Jesus is not enough for us? How often have we gone after the things of this world, and put our desires ahead of God's will? How often have we chosen earthly gain over sacrificing for the sake of another person that the Lord gave us an opportunity to serve? How often have we complained about what we did not have, or about how something did not go our way, and showed complete ingratitude for what God was already providing for us? Is Jesus really enough? The Jews complained about Jesus because He did not give them what they wanted, in the way they expected. Are we any different? If so, I will leave us with these words from Hebrews 13:5-6, "Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you.' So we may boldly say: 'The LORD is my Helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?'" If God chose to give us nothing more than He already has, or chose that we should lose it all, except our salvation of course, would Jesus be enough?

Today, God extends an invitation to you to accept His free gift of salvation (Romans 6:23). Will you accept it? Anyone who calls on Jesus, by faith, in repentance, confessing your sins, will receive eternal life. Do not put off calling on Him, and receive His free gift of salvation today (Romans 10:13).
