All You Need
Revelation 7:17
"For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes."
The world is constantly looking for answers in the wrong places. There is nothing more disappointing and frustrating than to need an answer for something and not find it because you are looking in the wrong place. However, when you need an answer and find the answer, the satisfaction that you have is great. Finding the answers you need in life simply come down to looking in the right place.
The verse above is talking about the future kingdom. It says in the future kingdom that the Lamb, Who is Jesus, will feed His people, lead them "unto fountains of water," and that He will wipe the tears from their eyes. What a promise this is for every believer. Even though this is talking about the future kingdom, Jesus will still do this for His people today.
Jesus is the One Who can feed you today. First, He will feed you spiritually. Christian, you need to stop looking to man to be fed Spiritually when you can be fed through reading the Word of God. John 1 tells us that Jesus is the Word. In other words, the only way you will be spiritually nourished is through reading the pages of the Word of God. Jesus is the spiritual sustenance that you need for your Christian walk.
Furthermore, Jesus is the One Who will supply your daily needs. Philippians 4:19 says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." I have watched Christians drop out of church because they needed a job to pay their bills, yet they never seem to financially catch up because they didn't go to the One Who supplies their daily needs. You must realize that God promises to supply every need you have through Jesus Christ. Just as Jesus can spiritually feed you, He can also feed you physically. He is the One Who will help you pay your bills. He is the One Who will make sure that you have food on the table. He is the One Who will put a roof over your head. Jesus is your sustenance.
Moreover, Jesus will also satisfy you in every area of life. The verse above says that Jesus will "...lead them unto living fountains of waters:..."The "fountain of waters" is symbolic of satisfaction. Nothing will satisfy you like Jesus can. Nobody can give you the complete satisfaction that Jesus will. You will only find the complete satisfaction you are looking for in Jesus Christ. This is why you need to pour your life into Christ, because He is the only One Who will give you complete satisfaction. Sure, other things will satisfy you, but nothing will give you complete satisfaction. Only Jesus can offer that.
Finally, Jesus will comfort you in your heartache. I love the phrase, "...and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes." The loving care of God is seen in this phrase. Christian, when your heart is hurting, God is the One Who can wipe the tears from your eyes. I have found in the greatest heartaches of my life that Jesus is the One Who was able to wipe the tears from my eyes. Does that mean that the heartache will leave? No! It simply means that He will be with you in the heartache. He will be the One Who comforts you the best during this time.
When you put all of these things together, you must come to the conclusion that Christ is all you need. You need to realize that Christ is everything, and that He has the answer for every need of your life. When you pour your life into Christ, then you will find that every need will be met.
