From John 6 I want to make reference to verses 53-54, 60, and 66.

 

John 6  53 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.

 

60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?”

 

66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.

 

Jesus can heal you, and He can heal your situation, and your mindset……yet He Is More.

He can rescue you from the claws of the enemy and the pits of Hell……yet He Is More.

He can speak and give you a word of wisdom that will change not only your life, but the lives of others……yet He Is More.

He can give you principles to make your business survive, your marriage survive, your family flourish……yet He Is More.

 

And that is what I want you to take with you today from what I am saying:

He Is More

 

He isn’t your fall-back

 

He is not your rescuer in times of trouble

 

He is not your hope for the nations

 

He is not a God who reigns on high who doesn’t know anything about you

 

He is not a rabbit’s foot that you can use for your big battles

 

He Is More

 

Many followed Him to see the next great thing….but He is not a traveling show to awe the crowd and make people stand in amazement….

 

He Is More

 

And He proved it then, and He is going to prove it now…..and He sealed it so that you could meet Him by taking JUST ONE STEP to allow Him into your life……

 

Coming to represent God, He made sure that we would have no excuse:

He showed up illegitimate so that we could tell Him “my life does not matter” and He would understand.

He was taken to the desert and starved and tempted so that we could tell Him “I am being tempted beyond my strength” and He would understand.

He was talked about and challenged and ridiculed when He did His best work so that we could tell Him “they don’t even recognize my best” and He would understand.

He became a carpenter so that we could tell Him “my work is hard” and He would understand.

He came at a time that they would not recognize Him so that we could tell Him “I am not noticed or recognized” and He would understand.

He gathered the most ill-prepared and under-valued people that He could, and had no money, no home, and no power so that we could tell Him “I don’t have enough resources” and He would understand.

 

And when it came time to stake His claim on your life—–

 

He did it in body and spirit.

 

Betrayed by a confidant

Abandoned by His friends

Tried in a court with no fairness

 

He was beaten and jeered

 

He was made to carry the instrument that they would kill Him with

 

He was mocked by the very men He was executed with and made the worst of the worst

 

And yet, as He took His last breath, He said:

 

It Is Paid In Full

 

Never will we have to say:

 

I don’t have enough

 

OR

 

I am short

 

OR

 

My qualifications don’t measure up

 

And when you ACCEPT the free gift that He gives us and worship Him and pray to Him…….

 

I want you to remember:

You are Loved exactly as you are…He made you and He is proud of you just as you are

 

You are Saved from your worst choices…He cancelled them on the cross

 

You are Valued in your points of least value…He put His life over yours and gave you RICHES BEYOND DESCRIPTION

 

And I suggest that you tell Him:

 

You Are More
