Trees need the three essentials of light, water, and nutrients (Psalm 1:1-3, Jeremiah 17:7-8).

Three Essentials for Christians

1. Light (John 1:1-9)

2. Water (John 4:4-14)

3. Bread (John 6:26-41, 48-51)

All lead to life now and forever (Matthew 7:13-14)!

Personal Application

Are you following the light of Jesus (John 8:12, 12:35-36, 2 Corinthians 4:4-6, Ephesians 5:8-14)?

Are you drinking from the living water (Revelation 21:6-7, 22:1, 17)?

Are you eating of the bread of Heaven (John 6:58)?

When you think about it, all three (the light of Jesus, living water, and the bread of Heaven) can be found in the gospel of Jesus Christ! And without these three essentials of the gospel, we will not be able to save our souls (Romans 1:16)!

If you are not a Christian, you have not started on the way of Jesus that leads to Life Eternal. Why not decide to believe Him, obey Him, confess that He is the Son of God, repent of your sins, and humble yourself to Him by being baptized for the forgiveness of your sins? We can help you do all those things this morning. Why not come now while we stand and sing?
