Only Jesus Fills the Empty Space

Jesus satisfies what nothing else can. Only Jesus fills the empty space. 

“Jesus said to them, ‘I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst.’” John 6:35 (ESV)

Everyone experiences empty spaces.

Sometimes disappointment, grief, loneliness, fear, uncertainty, unmet expectations, or even success creates them.

And we often try to fill those places with relationships, achievements, possessions, entertainment, or busyness.

Things life offers us but never really satisfies us deep in our soul.

But all these things still leave us wanting more.

Because every substitute eventually runs dry.

Our Deepest Need is Jesus Himself

Our deepest need isn’t more of what the world offers. But our deepest need is Jesus Himself.

“For he satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.” Psalm 107:9 (NIV)

Jesus Gives Living Water That Never Runs Dry: Jesus Fills Us

The world offers temporary satisfaction. But Jesus offers eternal satisfaction.

When we continually come to Him, His life begins overflowing into ours.

“Jesus said to her, ‘Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him will never be thirsty again. The water that I will give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life.’” John 4:13–14 (ESV)
