Jesus Is Better

City Awakening Church

1 Corinthians 15:1-4
Louis Tamburro
Rely on Jesus instead of trying to be Jesus. There’s no better savior than Jesus. Your spouse, your kids, your career, education, athletics...none of it will save and change your life like Jesus. We’ve tried it all, chased it all, been duped by it all thinking other things can save and satisfy us better than Jesus but it never does. Jesus is a better savior. You need Jesus for what you’ve done, for what you’re doing, and for what you will do. You need Jesus to save and sustain you. You and I both need a better savior than ourselves, and Jesus is that better savior!
We need to remember this as we seek to live as instruments of grace in our city. We need to remember our job isn’t to be Jesus in the city, it’s to rely on Jesus as we live in the city. It’s to rely on Jesus in our everyday lives so his life changing power will work in us and help transform other people’s lives through us. Jesus has the power to raise the dead to life, which means he has the power to change your life and the life of your friends. He doesn’t just want to make your life better, he also wants to make their lives better, transforming us and our world into being more wonderful like him. So, let’s live as instruments of grace in our city. Let’s rely on Jesus in our everyday lives as everyday ministers. Let’s rely on Jesus because he did it better, does it better, and will make it all better. Let’s rely on Jesus because Jesus is better!
