Jesus is Better Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I have tasted and seen
What the world promised me
And it taught me one thing
Jesus is better
I've been trying to find
Anything that satisfies
But I've made up my mind
Jesus is better

Chorus:
Jesus is better
Better than anything that
This world has to offer
Jesus is better
Nothing could ever
Ever hold my heart
Like the open arms of a Savior
Now and forever
Jesus is better

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know

[Verse 2]
Now my cup overflows
Living water floods my soul
Of all else I'm letting go
'Cause Jesus is better
Than even the best this life can give
What compares to a love like this?
With all my heart my answer is
Jesus is better

[Chorus]
Jesus is better
Better than anything that
This world has to offer
Jesus is better
Nothing could ever
Ever hold my heart
Like the open arms of a Savior
Now and forever
Jesus is better

[Post-Chorus]
Oh, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know
Jesus is better
Oh, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know

No more chasing earthly treasures

Better than anything that
This world has to offer
Jesus is better
Nothing could ever
Ever hold my heart
Like the open arms of a Savior
Now and forever

Oh, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know
Jesus is better
Oh, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know

Oh, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know
Jesus is better
Oh, I know, yes, I know, yes, I know

"He sustains all things"
~Hebrews 1:3

The human heart is restless, always looking for something of value to have on its throne. What we place on the throne of our hearts is constantly changing because nothing on earth can truly satisfy. The book of Hebrews addresses this. It shows us that there is One who is better than anything we could possibly own, experience, or imagine.

Welcome to our study through the book of Hebrews. It is an amazing book, as it shows us how the Old testament ties to the New Testament and how all the laws, ceremonies, and prophets in the Old Testament point to Jesus, the One who is better than anything else.

The author of Hebrews (some believe it was Paul or Luke, others believe it was Barnabas or Apollos. This mystery will be solved when we get to heaven) wastes no time in showing us the superiority of Jesus.

In just the first four verses we are told God has spoken through His Son, that He is heir to all things, creator of all we see, owner of the same glory and nature God has because He is God and it is through His power that all things hold together.

That is quite amazing and yet we forget, don?t we? We are not the only ones. This is an age-old problem because even the people to whom Hebrews was written were fallen men and women like us who were quickly distracted and had to be reminded that Jesus is better than prophets or angels, Moses or priests, sacrifices, laws or ceremonies. All these things were and are good; Jesus is better.

Angels are messengers and Jesus is the message. The sacrifices were a symbol of cleansing and Jesus is our actual cleansing. The prophets told about one who would redeem and Jesus is that redemption. In all things, Jesus is better.

This is why later, in Hebrews 12, the author encourages us to run the race before us with our eyes set on Jesus. When we understand the power, perfection, and overall superiority of Jesus we will persevere no matter what hurdles we must overcome. We will be faithful because we will understand there is no one and nothing better to give our affection to than Jesus.

As we study this amazing book follow in the footsteps of the author of Hebrews and make Jesus comparisons a regular part of your life. That way, Jesus will stay on the throne of our hearts and everything else will stay in its proper place.

"In all my sorrows, Jesus is better
In all my victories, Jesus is better
Than any comfort, Jesus is better
More than all riches, Jesus is better
Make my heart believe"
(taken from the lyrics of Jesus Is Better by Austin Stone)

Looking to Jesus,
