Jesus is the answer is a familiar phrase for many Christians. How can one person be the answer to life’s questions and challenges? Let’s find out why Jesus is the answer to the world today.
Joseph Prince preached a sermon, “Why Jesus Is the Answer“. The short clip below captures an excerpt of the sermon. It helps me appreciate why Jesus is the answer to life’s challenges.
Whenever we face a challenge, instead of looking all over for solutions, look to Jesus. He said, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” (John 14:6 WEB). He also said that, “one thing is needed.” (Luke 10:42)
He will show Himself in a fresh way. A new revelation of Jesus brings fresh grace.
1. When Jesus is the answer, then the answer is not me
Recently I was vexed by circumstances in my life. I cannot change anything about the circumstances. It is beyond me. But instead of worrying and turning the situation around and around in my head, I realized I can cast my vexations to Jesus and go to Him. When I spend time with Him, the circumstances start to change.
2. When Jesus is the answer, then the answer is not someone else
When I trust and rely on family and friends, they can let me down. Not all the time but there are times they are not there for me. I can’t blame them, they are busy with their own lives too.
But, Jesus’ name means Immanuel, which means God with me (Matthew 1:23). ALWAYS. When I realized that, I no longer feel alone and helpless to face my challenges. Jesus is there with me. ALWAYS
3. When Jesus is the answer, then the answer is not in man-made systems
I used to read a lot of self-improvement books. I thought that if only I can practice what they write, I’ll be a better person. But I always fail to keep practising. I last about 2 weeks, that’s it.
Now I understand that I cannot make myself better on my own or rely on man-made systems. God sees me perfect in Jesus Christ. And with Christ in me, I have the peace and power to become a better person.
After receiving the revelation, I began to appreciate this old song – Jesus is the answer by Andrae Crouch. It is an old rendition but so good.

We have come to the end of this post. I hope you have found what you are seeking. If not, keep looking. For Jesus said,
9 “I tell you, keep asking, and it will be given you. Keep seeking, and you will find. Keep knocking, and it will be opened to you. 10 For everyone who asks receives. He who seeks finds. To him who knocks it will be opened.
Luke 11:9-10 WEB
For God so loved you, He sent His only begotten Son to die on the cross for you. You are precious to Him.
