When we meet Jesus—when we truly believe He is the risen Son of God and ask Him to be our personal Lord and Savior—we are changed. The emptiness that sent us after things of the world is now filled with Him. Our hunger for love and acceptance is satisfied; our thirst for contentment and fulfillment is quenched. We are three dimensional beings—body, spirit, and soul—with physical, emotional, and spiritual needs. We can chase every physical and emotional and even religious pleasure that the world provides and still feel incomplete. Because deep in the center of who we are we want a relationship that meets our spiritual needs. JESUS is the answer.
