So desperate that you are willing to do anything to find an answer?

These guys were desperate! Look what they did! Think of this in modern terms. They so knew that Jesus was their only hope, that they just had to get to Him. With no way in, they dismantled the building itself. Imagine climbing on top of a home and cutting a hole in the roof to gain access to the inside, and to Jesus. Wow!

Many of us are desperate today, but how often are we desperate for Jesus? How often do WE see Jesus as THE answer to our need?

It is common to be desperate for money, for medical help, for food, for a job, for a friend, for acceptance. We all have needs. We all suffer from moments that our own abilities seem unable to overcome, forcing us to look elsewhere. But where do we look? Our perception of the source of help is our true center of faith. It is the moment of desperation that exposes our own heart, our true beliefs, and our faith.

In the beginning, God cursed the ground. That was not a punishment as much as a blessing. He cursed the ground after the fall to help us by making life challenging, by exposing our own heart to us. Where do we turn when it really matters? When there is no hope? When all seems lost? Well, unless all DOES seem lost, we would never know!

Examine your heart! Ask God to reveal it to you. See where your trust is when things get tough. Our desperation must be to touch Jesus, to get to Him, to hear from Heaven! That is relief, that is solution, that is peace. If heaven seems far away, ask WHY? Ask where is God! Remove the roof, the walls, whatever is separating you from Jesus.

When we know that Jesus is the answer, the only answer, then we become desperate for Him. We find that path and according to scripture, will not be disappointed. Jesus will not turn us away! He is there waiting for the desperate. Waiting to touch that need, and forgive that sin.

Jesus is the answer, to every question. Be desperate for Him!
