Ministry Letter May 2017

There are many names for God and Jesus used perhaps one of the most significant names when the Pharisees asked Him who He was. He answered, “Before Abraham was even born, I AM!” (John 8:56-58). Jesus used the personal name of God, "I AM" (Yahweh), revealed in Exodus 3:14. By doing so, Jesus declared He was the eternal God incarnate, the self-existing and self-sufficient One.

This name, “I AM,” is of tremendous significance because we as humans are absolutely and utterly dependent on God to meet our deepest needs. And Jesus as the “I AM” is the only One who can do that. Every need we have is satisfied in Him when we call upon His name.

The sad part is many people, including some Christians, stumble through life, relying on themselves, things, or others to provide what only Christ can. He alone is the “I AM” and no matter the need, He is all-sufficient.

This great truth is at the core of all we do at Insight for Living Canada. All our resources are based on the bedrock fact that Christ and Christ alone satisfies the deepest needs of all who call upon His name. Through your prayer and financial gifts, and those of people like you, we will continue to proclaim and propagate this great truth.

So I ask, can I count on your gracious support this month?

Jesus knew all people need sustenance, guidance, direction, and life. He identified Himself as able to meet those needs with phrases like, “I am the Bread of Life,” “I am the Light of the World,” “I am the Way,” and “I am the Resurrection and the Life.” It is this Good News we at Insight for Living Canada, and believe you as well, want to communicate to Canadians.

Send your gift today so together we can share the Good News so people will know they can call upon the Name that is above every other name and find satisfaction in the unchanging, all-sufficient God, Jesus Christ. He alone satisfies the soul’s deepest longings.

“There is salvation in no one else! God has given no other name under heaven by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12).

Proclaiming together with you,

Steve Johnson
Executive Director
