Life

Scripture: John 6:63-64

(6:63) “It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing, The words that I speak unto you , they are spirit , and they are life.”

(6:64) “ But there are some of you that believe not.”

The words I speak to you they are spirit… And they are life…

They are spirit… And they are life…

Lets say that together… Because I want to get this scripture into your spirit because we are going to go somewhere today…

Let say it together 1… 2… 3…

(CONGREGATION) THE WORDS JESUS SPEAKS TO ME THEY ARE SPIRIT AND THEY ARE LIFE…

That’s what I want to talk about today… Life… Living…. If you want to place a title on this sermon you can just call it… “LIFE” …

I just want to talk about life and what God says when it comes to life…

And the reality of this issue or topic today is that there are many of us that need to deal directly with issues surrounding our life…

We are seeking answers to questions regarding our life…

We are dissatisfied and sometime disappointed with aspects of our life…

And we keep wondering when things are going to change for the better…

As we dig into scripture this morning you will notice that just a few scriptures earlier Jesus preaching to the people and as he express to them that He is the living Bread that has come down from heaven…

That whoever shall eat of this bread shall not die…

That if anyone eats of THIS bread, he will live forever…

He said that the bread that I shall give is my flesh and I will give it for the Life of the world…

The scripture that we just read together almost begins what constitutes the reaction of the people and his disciples to this message from a man who looked like them but spoke with the authority of God…

The reaction was wide… Some stayed and trusted… Some left… Some stayed and had unbelief in there hearts and had the same reaction as the Old Testament Jews … They murmured and gossiped…

Jesus had to say to them in verse 63 “the words that I speak unto you they are spirit… and they are life….

And as we do so often the people took what was being said to them and what was being provided to them for granted…

And southern mission I have been blessed… I’ve have been blessed to travel often and I know people all over this country… And the more people I meet and know the more I realize that we as a people really do take life for granted…

We take life for granted and we often do more of what that last group did rather than take the offer that is being presented to us…

He said that the words I speak are spirit and they are life…

PT I. “CAN’T GET RIGHT”

You know, A while back there was a movie that came out a few years back and it was called of all things LIFE…

Some of you may have seen it… It was a comedy starring Eddie Murphy and Martin Lawrence….

And this movie LIFE was about two guys who lived a life of short cuts (you know) hustlers … And these two guys were unjustifiably sent to prison for life…

In fact they were sent to prison for a crime they never committed…

They were sent away for years and years for being in the wrong place at the wrong time…

And in this movie, they’re was a character who I want to focus on for a moment…

And in this movie call Life the characters name was “Can’t Get Right”…

That’s right… His name was “Can’t Get Right”….

Now can’t get right was a young brother who was also imprisoned with the main characters….

And they called him can’t get right because to the rest of the prisoners he just “Can’t get right”…

To them he couldn’t talk right….

Can’t get right, Couldn’t think right….

And to them, “Can’t get right” didn’t act right….

Now at first glance, when you looked at can’t get right all of these things would appear true…

When you spoke to him he wasn’t saying anything particularly wise… In fact he may not say anything to you at all…

If you asked him to fix something or do something he probably could get what you need done right

If you asked him to solve a complicated problem he would probably just stare to you …

And after you walked away from this brother you would probably walk away saying to yourself that brother “Can’t get Right”…

He just can’t get right…

But let me tell you something about “ Can’t get right” that maybe you didn’t know…
