Why It Matters That Jesus Is Better Than Everything
Jesus Is Better
Jesus is the better everything. He's the better boss that gives us the better pay than what we really deserve. He's the better representation of Father who speaks better words over us than even our earthly fathers. He's the better friend who will never leave or forsake us, who will always stay with us, even though we betray him. He's the better everything.
Gospel Fluency
Jeff Vanderstelt
Teaching believers what it looks like for the gospel to become a natural part of our everyday conversations, Vanderstelt shows that the good news about Jesus impacts every facet of our lives.
And too often, we don't know how to show Jesus as the “better” to the everyday struggles that people are facing. We just say "Jesus," and think that's enough. We've got to learn how to help people understand that he's the better everything for the longings of their heart.
