The one thing we need is sometimes the one thing we lack. We need tickets to a sold-out event, a higher test score, or even a hand to help us when we're drowning. The problem is the one thing we need is the one thing we lack. And often, we need someone else to help us get what we're lacking.

In regards to our salvation, Jesus has the one thing we lack, and He wants to give it to us. We are completely incapable of salvation on our own, but Christ came to provide what we need. Say “yes” to Him, and receive what He has. He's the only way.
