We should be careful about saying, “Jesus meets all our needs.” At first, this has a plausible biblical ring to it. Christ is a friend; God is a loving Father; Christians do experience a sense of meaningfulness and confidence in knowing God’s love. It makes Christ the answer to our problems. Yet if our use of the term “needs” is ambiguous, and its range of meaning extends all the way to selfish desires, then there will be some situations where we should say that Jesus does not intend to meet our needs, but that he intends to change our needs.

(They 'stuff' the Brie with 1/4 cup sliced, toasted almonds and
1/4 cup chopped parsley instead of Boursin)
* Boursin cheese is a spreadable garlic and herb cheese. Boursin Poivre
contains a lot of black pepper for those who like pepper. Boursin is
available in many grocery stores but can almost certainly be found in
higher quality produce and specialty stores. If Boursin or Boursin Poivre
cannot be found, Alouette can be used as a substitute although it is not as
high quality as Boursin, in my opinion.
