Jesus is all we need. Whatever our predicament, Jesus is the escape. Whatever the question, Jesus is the answer.
Are you hungry? He is the Bread of Life, John 6:35. Thirsty? He is the Living Water, John 4: 10. Doubting, distrusting? He is Faithful and True, Revelation 19:11. Fearful? He is our Peace, Ephesians 2:14. Abandoned? He is the Good Shepherd, seeking (and keeping) his sheep, John 10:11. Accused? He is the Great High Priest, the Advocate with the Father, Hebrews 4:14; 1 John 2:1. Unsuccessful? He is the Author and Finisher of our Faith, Hebrews 12:2. Treated unfairly? He is the Judge of all, Acts 10:42. Detached? He is the True Vine, John 15:1. Lowly, unworthy? He is the King of Kings, Revelation 17:14. Victimized? He is the Lamb of God, John 1:29. Insecure? He is the Rock, the sure Foundation, 1 Corinthians 10:4; 3:11. In danger? He is the Saviour, Luke 2:11. Shut out? He is the Door, John 10:9. Overlooked? He is the Word, the Alpha and Omega. John 1:1; Revelation 1:8. Deceived? He is the Truth. John 8:32. Lost? He is the Way, John 14:6. Sick? He is the Great Physician, Luke 5:31-32. Blind? He is the Light of the World, the Bright and Morning Star, John 8:12. Dead? He is the Resurrection and the Life, John 11:25. Isolated, defeated? He is Emmanuel, God with us! Matthew 1:23.
Jesus is all we need – at every moment, in every manner, for every matter.

Our Sufficiency
"Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God." - 2 Corinthians 3:5
HE is our SUFFICIENCY in the court of heaven. “Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life.” (Rom 5:9-10)
HE is our SUFFICIENCY in the court of our accusers. “Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us.” (Rom 8:33-34)
HE is our SUFFICIENCY in the court of man’s opinion. “As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us.” (Rom 8:36-37)
HE is our SUFFICIENCY in any ministry to which we are called. “But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.” (2Cor 4:7)
HE is our SUFFICIENCY in faith. “I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Gal 2:20)
HE is our SUFFICIENCY in sanctification. “But of him are ye in Christ Jesus, who of God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.” (1Co 1:30)
HE is our SUFFICIENCY in assurance. “I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.” (2Tim 1:12)
HE is our SUFFICIENCY in life and death. “For none of us liveth to himself, and no man dieth to himself. For whether we live, we live unto the Lord; and whether we die, we die unto the Lord: whether we live therefore, or die, we are the Lord's.” (Rom 14:7-8)

Three hopeless cases
In the Gospel of Mark, chapter 5, we find three hopeless cases.
1. A man who could be neither tamed nor bound -- no man could bind him, no, not with chains...neither could any man tame him.
2. A woman who could not be healed -- a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse...
3. A girl who died "while help was on the way" -- Thy daughter is dead: why troublest thou the Master any further?
Hopeless. Yes! "With men this is impossible..."
Hopeless? I think not! "...with God all things are possible."
Out of his head, crazy, hopeless: "And they come to Jesus, and see him that was possessed with the devil, and had the legion, sitting, and clothed, and in his right mind..."
Money gone, health gone, hopeless: "...she had heard of Jesus...and touched his garment...And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague."
Life gone, hopeless: "And he took the damsel by the hand, and said unto her, Talitha cumi; which is, being interpreted, Damsel, I say unto thee, arise. And straightway the damsel arose, and walked..."
No head. No health. No breath. No hope. NO PROBLEM!!
