Christianity Is Only For Certain People?

Jesus is the reason for the season. He came to seek and save those who are lost, those who have troubles, those who seek peace. Here's a quote from my church's blog "The message of Jesus is only for certain people--those with addictions to alcohol, porn, materialism, or greed. The message of Jesus is only for people who have anxiety, worry, stress, anger, or bad marriages. The message of Jesus is only for those who don't know how they're going to pay their rent, or mortgage. The message of Jesus is only for those who are prideful, depressed, lonely, sad, or have unhealthy relationships. The message of Jesus is only for those who don't know what they're doing with their lives or who are worried about their children's college funds.

The point is that the message of Jesus is only for certain people--those who understand they need him. And we all need him.

So now when you hear someone say 'Christianity is too narrow minded and only for certain people,' I'll respond, 'Yes, it is. The message of Jesus is only for people who realize they are not perfect.' And I won't be afraid to admit that I struggle with a lot of insecurities and self-doubts and need Jesus to remind me that I am a dearly loved child of his. By admitting my own weakness, perhaps others will see that Jesus came for people like me who know they are in need.

Do you have friends who think Jesus is only for certain people? Help them to see that Jesus is for everyone--everyone who is willing to admit they are in certainly in need."
