Relationships are one of the utmost important aspects of our lives. Our relationships can come in all forms. From romantic to familial to platonic relationships, it's undeniable that these relationships impact our lives in one way or another. This is what makes following Jesus so special. Christianity is about the relationship, not just about the rules. Jesus Himself states that the greatest commandment is to "love thy neighbour"(Mark 12:31), symbolising the great importance of having good relationships as a Christian.

But why Jesus? Why can't we live a good and righteous life without the need of following Jesus to be rewarded with eternal salvation? You and I were both created with the intent to have an intimate relationship with God, although, when sin entered the world the bridge between us and God was severed. This leaves us with a gap in our lives. Some make an effort to try to fill that gap with worldly things, such as money, drugs or sexual promiscuity. We are left hungry to find something, anything, to fill the void left behind. This is why Jesus came to serve. Jesus states that he is "the bread of life" (John 6:35), stating that "whoever comes to me will never go hungry". Jesus is the solution - He is the mediator between us and God. Jesus died for our sins to provide us with the opportunity to believe in Him and heal the broken link between us and God.
