"My life is good, I'm happy, and I just don't feel the need for Christ," is a common response to the gospel of Jesus Christ. And if that's all Christianity is, something to be added to life to bring about some extra happiness, then I would agree wholeheartedly, you don't need Jesus - in fact Jésus would be a viable alternative, especially if he'll mow your grass for you. However, happiness is not the message of the gospel (that might surprise you). Do yourself a favor, before you run off and have a beer with Jésus and dismiss your need for Jesus, read the gospel, and ask yourself, "Is this talking about something more than finding happiness?" And if you have a few extra moments, you might be interested to know that you're not the first person to ask, "Why do I need Jesus?"

I found the video charming. It was a welcome reminder that following the example of Christ involves more than self-interest (e.g. not going to Hell). One also needs to actually display compassion for one's fellow man, especially if he's in worse circumstances that you are! In this day and age, that's a message we need to hear more of!
