Finding Satisfaction in Jesus
Satisfaction is a funny thing - just when we think we have it, it vanishes on us. We’re all trying to have our fill in life. It is right that we seek to be satisfied - we were made to enjoy life, to feel ‘full’ of goodness and blessing. But the satisfaction we work towards is all too often short lived. It leaves us wanting. The world’s invitation to be satisfied is like a buffet: help yourself! Do more, be more, see more - and be satisfied. But will we ever have enough? Maybe a buffet won’t help us. Our satisfaction seems like a bottomless pit. Jesus reaches out to us with a unique invitation: ‘I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.’ Is it possible that Jesus is the one who can give us true satisfaction? What would it be like to come to Jesus, and find that He is enough?
