Father, I pray that across these campuses now, you would move.

awaken in your people a hunger for Christ,

a thirst for the water that he is. If any of you thirsts, Jesus says right now,

through my mouth, let him come to me and drink. So Christ come and pour out

your Holy Spirit and make rivers of living water flow in the hearts of your people

and draw those outside Christ to yourself.

Help me to be faithful to this word and show how unique you are. Persuade minds and awakened hearts to your absolutely all satisfying

glorious one-of-a- kind uniqueness.

I ask this in Jesus name,

Amen.

What I want to do now in this message is give an overview of the double division,

there's two sets of divisions in this text divided by verse 46 which is the fulcrum the hinge let's read

verse 46 the key phrase we're focusing on no one ever spoke like this man, referring to Jesus.

So I want to focus on that and with the help of C.S. Lewis and U2's Bono, believe it or not, to open the truth of that statement and to show why it is so offensive and why it is so

compelling.

And all of that, I pray, will help many of you climb down off the fence of wavering and give yourself holy to Christ.

There's so many believers and almost believers who live their lives wavering between I'm

walking away from this and maybe someday I'll really get committed.

Just right in there.

And my prayer for this message is that

God might use it to just help a lot of you just climb down off that fence.
