VIDEO: Jesus Is Better. Jesus Will Give Us Better, Make Us Better

It’s not even complicated to make a song to pay tribute to Jesus. It’s not hard to find lyrics for a song about His glory because He is almighty and He is perfection.
Listen to this amazing song called “Jesus Is Better” which is performed by Austin Stone and remember just how flawless Jesus is. Thank Him for everything He gives you and keep loving Him.

Jesus is the most important Man, not just in our nation, not just on Planet Earth, but in the entire universe. And He isn’t important just for four years or eight years like some political leaders, but forever and ever and ever! Furthermore, the most important Man in the universe thinks I am so important, He gave His own life for me. How can I feel depressed by the smallness of my life when the most important Man in the universe has died for me, rules over me now, and will one day return for me? In the eyes of the Lord Jesus Christ, I am important. My life has value.

And in every way imaginable, life is better with Jesus. He not only gives meaning and purpose to life, He gives direction and makes a difference. If you are depressed by the smallness of your life, you can find encouragement through Jesus! If you are defeated by life’s struggles, you can find hope through Jesus.

Read John 10:7-10

In Jesus’ day, the summer sheepfold was located in the highland pasture. Stones from the pasture itself were piled on top of each other until they formed a circular wall, and this created the sheepfold. The wall had one gap, and that served as a gate through which the sheep could enter and leave. The shepherd would lie down in the gap as a literal door to the fold. Keep in mind that the fold in this parable is a picture of a relationship with God that includes forgiveness of sin, salvation and eternal life.
