Why isn't Jesus Enough?

This is something I've been thinking about for a long time, but wasn't sure how to write about it in a way that didn't come across as me complaining about being lonely, because I feel like I do that all the time.  (Though probably not as often as it feels like to me because looking over all the blog posts I've written, most of them never get published, which is why there is usually such a long time between posts!)

In the duration of church hunting, I've realized just how easy it is to lose touch with community and the body of Christ, as well as just how much they are needed.  Starting in Genesis we find that man is not meant to be alone, and never, in scripture (save a few examples) do we find people who are habitually by themselves.  People lived in communities for survival, both physically, and especially in the New Testament, spiritually.
