Jesus is our Friend

Hi, I’m John Sorensen, President of Evangelism Explosion International, and you’re listening to Share Life Today.

Recently, I was reading statistics from a renowned research company who found that 20% of Americans feel daily loneliness. This confirms what I’ve heard from people all around the world in the past few years—that people feel isolated and alone. In a day and age of social media and global internet, our younger generations are called “the loneliest generation that’s have ever lived.” But there is Someone who came to heal broken hearts. Jesus befriended both outcasts and sinners. He met with them, walked with them, and even died on a cross for them and for us. His death was a sacrifice that paid for the sins of any who will put their trust in Him. And you know what happens when we do that?
