JESUS is enough

Have you ever thought about what would be enough? I mean, I have been so blessed, in ways that I could never explain or express. I have had so many good things happen in my life that I don't deserve. I have the greatest wife, the greatest kids, a great job, work with good people, a great church family, a great family, and the list goes on and on. BUT...

But, there are still those times when I find myself wanting more. Not, that I am willing to do something immoral or illegal but just more. How much is enough for retirement? When we get a little something saved, it doesn't seem to be enough. How much is enough life insurance? When we think about what we have, we wonder is it enough. It just seems that we are always looking for enough, whatever that is.

Today's word is a passages where the disciple Philip was looking for enough. John 14:8, NIV, reads, "Philip said, 'LORD, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."

Philip and the other disciples had been walking and talking with JESUS for three and a half years. They had been learning from GOD, Himself. Yet, Philip wanted a little more. He is with JESUS, GOD in the flesh but he wants JESUS to show him the Father. Why? Because that would be enough. We seem to always want more but we don't know what enough is.

JESUS goes on to tell Philip and the disciples that if they had seen Him, which they had, they had seen the Father. In other words, He is enough. When I find myself wondering about how much more we need to accumulate, how much more we "need", I remind myself that JESUS is enough.

Be Blessed,
