Bare Necessity

I awoke this morning, not to the strains of radio 3AW, but to my wife singing these words.

Christ is the bare necessity
A simple, bare necessity
You've got to leave your worries and your cares
You've got to learn to trust Him
And live Your life just like Him
For Christ is the bare necessity of life.


What a nice thought to awake to!

Often we need a reminder that Jesus is the centre of our everyday, the reason for our existence and our inspiration to live faithfully and confidently in God's gracious love.

John 3:13 (MSG) ~ "...it is necessary for the Son of Man to be lifted up—and everyone who looks up to him, trusting and expectant, will gain a real life, eternal life."
