Who Needs A Savior?

Please remember that “good people” need Jesus too?  Without this reminder we can get so focused on those who have sin, or its evident effect in their lives that we can sometimes forget that all people have a need for a Savior.  That is exactly what the story of Nicodemus tells us.  Nicodemus was one of the elite religious leaders in the Jewish nation as well as a prominent political leader.  He was clearly a successful person who had a lot going for him.  Yet, his need was just as great as a person who was obviously down and out.

        Even the Old Testament notes this universal need as Solomon noted that “Indeed, there is not a righteous man on earth who continually does good and who never sins”  (Ecclesiastes 7:20).

        So, don’t overlook the “successful” person God has brought into your contact and friendship network.  Remember that their need of a Savior is already established.
