Title: Dogs Playing Poker (4 of 5)
Series: This Is Your Captain Speaking
Author: Scott Maze
Text: John 6:41-54, 59
We continue our series of hearing from our Captain, the Lord Jesus Christ. We continue our series in the gospel of John. I invite you to find your Bibles and find John 6 with me.
If you were to pause to consider some of the most important speeches in American history, you might think about Patrick Henry's "Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death" speech all the way back in 1775. Others might point to Martin Luther King Jr's "I Have a Dream" speech that fueled civil rights in 1963. But, none of these compare to the eternal significance of Jesus' message delivered in His hometown synagogue in Capernaum (John 6:59).
If we look at His message through the lens of our eternal future, surely Jesus' message is on a different level altogether. Jesus clearly shows us our "why" for this life and the next.
Invitation
After today's message, you will be invited to respond to Jesus' offer of a clean, fresh start. You can respond by going to the Encourager's Room or a virtual room. If you would like someone to pray with you, we are here. We would love to meet with you personally.
In the moments to come, Jesus will challenge us. Today, we would say, "Buckle up," because part of what Jesus is saying is really difficult to hear. Even the disciples who first heard Jesus speak these words respond, "This is a hard saying; who can listen to it?" (John 6:60b).
Today's Scripture
So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, I am the bread that came down from heaven.' They said, "Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, 'I have come down from heaven'?' Jesus answered them, 'Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets, 'And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has h ...
