Jesus is all you need!

I read a Russian story last week.  There was a big apartment house, and many lived there.  The apartment building had a basement, and they all put their junk in it.  There was a beautiful harp in the basement, but it was broken, and nobody could repair it.  Once there came a tramp who said, 'May I sleep this night in your house?  There is such a terrible snowstorm.' And they said, 'We have no guest rooms, but you can sleep in the basement.' After some hours, they suddenly heard beautiful music from the basement, and the harp owner recognized it.  He ran down and asked, 'How could you repair that harp?' And the man said, 'I have made this harp, and when you have made something, you can also repair it.'  Yes, the one who made the harp is also able to repair it!

The Bible says in Psalm 139:14, "I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made."  Who has made us?  Was it not God?  The Bible says nothing has been made without Jesus.  Do you believe He can make us good, blameless, and right with God and men so that we will be ready for Jesus' coming?  Jesus is able and He will do it, for it is written in 1 Tim 5:23, "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."  ls it possible to be made spotless - you and I?  Yes!  The rest of the text is, "He who calls you is faithful, who also will do it." Corrie Ten Boom, who survived the Nazi concentration camp where her father and sister met their end, says, 'You can never learn that Christ is all you need until Christ is all you have.'  How true!   The One who has created us can make us well, sanctify us, and keep us until His return!

My friend, what is your problem today?  Is it about your health, or is it about financial or family issues?  Whatever it may be, Christ is all you need.  Jesus can heal not only your body but also your spirit and your situation.  Corrie Ten Boom understood this precious lesson in the concentration camp.  Let us trust in Jesus Christ, for He is all we need!
