Jesus got hungry?

Early in the morning, as Jesus was on his way back to the city, he was hungry. (Matthew 21:18 NIV) Is that hard to think of our savior as being hungry? For me, it is! I know he was human, but still, he really got hungry!? Well, yes, he did! And today I want to say something about spiritual hunger. There really is a "void" in all of us. Some say it's called a God shaped hole, that only God himself can fill. I know there is a place in us that does certainly feel empty! We try to fill it with friends, family, sports, hunting, shopping... Just about anything and everything! The thing is we will continue to search until we find Jesus and ask him in our hearts. When his spirit comes into our heart's, we are then "saved". What are we saved from? We are saved from death, hell, and the grave. (Eternal death) We have eternal life through the sacrifice of the life that Jesus gave on the cross. Way back, the people had to bring animal sacrifice's to be "forgiven of their sin's". However, once Jesus made that one sacrifice of His own blood, He made atonement for you and I. So, today we don't have to sacrifice animal's! Thank you Jesus! (I would be in serious trouble)! Today, I want to ask you: Are you saved? Is Jesus your Lord? Are you ready for eternal life. All will stand before Him one day and every knee will bow. The thing is are you ready for that? Are you hungry for Jesus? Only He can fill that empty feeling/space that nothing else can. Seriously, R U HUNGRY?
