Question of the Day: When do you spend time with Jesus?
Read about It
Read: John 6:43–59
Spending time with Jesus is important. When we spend time reading the Bible and in prayer, we grow to know more and more that Jesus is the Source of everything we need. We see in these verses that He talked about being the Bread of Life. Only through Jesus can we experience eternal salvation, grace, and forgiveness of our sins.
Jesus came to earth to die on the Cross for our sins. We can’t earn forgiveness or earn God’s love. He freely gave it to us through Jesus. When we ask Jesus to come into our life and forgive our sins, we experience that grace and love. We experience the gift of new life through Christ Jesus, and it is one of the greatest things we will ever experience. Jesus is the Way, the Truth, and the Life and only through Him can we be saved.
