"For My flesh is true food, and My blood is true drink.
He who eats My flesh and drinks My blood abides in Me, and I in him.
As the living Father sent Me, and I live because of the Father,
so he who eats Me, he also will live because of Me.
This is the bread which came down out of heaven;
not as the fathers ate and died;
he who eats this bread will live forever."
- John 6:55-59
"Communion is a decision reminder. Have you embraced the 'good idea' or the 'God identity'?"
There are a lot of good ideas but in practices are really hard. People like the idea of doing good things and going to church, but following Jesus isn't just a good idea or a middle-of-the-road decision.
"Jesus doesn't want 'some' of you, He wants ALL of you!"
Crossing over to be a follower of Jesus:
1. You give up the right to "GIVE SOME."
Give all of what you have now and give as if you don't have later. The two curse words at Hillsong NYC are: "someday" and "almost." There is no middle ground at this church. And if you are in the middle, we still love you anyway.
2. You give up the right ot give up.
People give up when they get hit by something. But Jesus hasn't given up on you, so you can't give up on you.
3. You do not give up on people.
But you also have to remember that you're not the one saving people, Jesus is! It's all about Jesus, not you.
