When People Can’t Seem to Find Jesus 
Toni M. Babcock

There are several reasons people can’t seem to find Jesus. Here are a few:

1. Some are looking for a substitute Jesus – someone or something that will take God’s place in their lives. The list is long, but it consists of anything that fills the void created for a relationship with Him. It could be money, prosperity, fame, or the people we idolize.

2. Some are duped into looking in the wrong places. Perhaps a cult or false philosophy has led them on a rabbit trail far from the Word of God – or maybe they’re simply “following their own heart” when the Bible says “the heart is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, who can know it?” (Jeremiah 17:9 KJV) We’re all vulnerable to self-delusion. Humility recognizes the importance of trusting the Word of God and not ourselves.

3. The third reason is, some are looking for Jesus and can’t seem to find Him in us.

The third reason is the most convicting of all for those of us who call ourselves a Christian. Do broken and hurting people in our lives — people who are looking for a hero and a Savior — fail to see Jesus in us?

Believer, the reason we are here is to reflect Jesus — to shine His light and live His love in the world. To paraphrase the scripture: “If we draw out our soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then our light will rise in obscurity, and our darkness will be as the noonday; and the LORD will guide us continually, and satisfy our thirsty souls: and we will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water, whose waters fail not.” (Isaiah 58:10-11 KJV)

When’s the last time we refreshed someone else’s soul with water like that? If people can’t seem to find Jesus, let’s reflect the ‘Jesus’ they can’t seem to find — then we’ll be able to point them to the LORD.

Great Book 
To Share With Anyone Who Does Not Believe or To Encourage the Faith of Those Who Do Believe


Perfect to equip the believer for defending their faith. Ideal to send to a skeptical friend or family member. Great for teens and young adults who have never reviewed the objective evidence for God's existence and identity. God has used Gravity to help lead many to Christ, even atheists. It is being used in over 1,300 prisons, numerous college campus and online in several languages. Hundreds of reviews online. 

An in-depth study of the factual evidence leads a person to realize how little faith they need to believe, while it gives them great faith at the same time. 

"If false, Christianity is an irrelevant hoax. If true, Christianity is the most important fact for every human being. This little book concisely shows you why Christianity is true and what that means for you. No fluff, just the facts!" Dr. Frank Turek author/co-author of I Don’t Have Enough Faith to Be an Atheist
