Passage: Matthew 7:22-29
"If you have Jesus, you have the words of life. When Jesus was in His earthly ministry, He realized that many people weren't following Him because they wanted Him; they wanted what He could give them. He knew that. He said it's time to filter out this crowd, I know their motives, they're not here for Me, they just want more fish and more bread - but they don't want Me. So He said, 'Unless you drink my blood and eat my body, you can have no part with Me.' And many of them were shocked. He was talking about letting their lives be consumed by Him. And most of the people left Him - they weren't following Jesus for Jesus. His disciples were left, and Peter said, 'Where are we going to go? You alone have the words of life!' If we listen to Jesus, and if we do what Jesus says, we're going to experience the best that life can offer!"
