Jesus Came to Restore Our Connection With God

Описание: In a world of dropped signals, dead phone chargers, and internet outages, we understand what it feels like when a connection breaks. But Scripture says there’s an even deeper disconnect underneath our everyday frustrations: our broken connection with God. In John 1 verses 29–42, John the Baptist points to Jesus as the Lamb of God—the one who takes away sin and restores what was severed. And in 1 Corinthians 1 verses 1–9, Paul names what Jesus gives as a gift: koinonia—not shallow “fellowship,” but a real, life-changing communion with God that reshapes our relationships with one another.
