IMPACT FXBG | JESUS Said - John 19:28-29

Just with your heads bowed and your eyes closed, what we have tonight, church, is an invitation from Jesus to come. You who are tired, you who are burned out, you who are doubting, you who are wrestling and fighting, come. You don't need money. You don't need payment. You don't need good behavior. Just come. Just come. And visit the cross. And as you follow Jesus, he will give you water that will cause you to never thirst again. Would you come to Jesus tonight? For the first time, would you leave your sin and brokenness, and would you come to Jesus? [01:15:56] (70 seconds)  #ComeAsYouAre

And church, the bible says that we all as humans have natural thirsts. We have human thirsts, And and they're all not just physical thirsts. Like, our minds, guys, they're thirsty for truth. We are constantly looking for what is true. Well well, now I need to fact check this, and could this be true? And what is this? We are always looking for what is true. Guys, our hearts our hearts are thirsty for joy. [01:08:52] (32 seconds)  #ThirstForTruth

Guys, our our souls get thirsty, and our souls are thirsty for hope. We live in a world and it's just you get gut punched. Right? You turn on the news, you scroll through social media, do a little doom scrolling, and it's like someone punches you in the gut and says, man, how much longer is this brokenness gonna exist? And we become numb to it. Guys, that punch in the gut feeling, that's your soul, and your soul is thirsty for hope. Your conscience, this is where your thoughts go when you're alone.

We see that Jesus is fully human. Ain't that amazing? We just got done talking about how Jesus was fully God. How he had he was all knowing. There's a big word for that. We say omniscient. That just means he's all knowing. He knows everything. Jesus is so fully God that he knows when the debt of the sin of the world has been paid. I mean, that's some like you gotta be God to know that.

But at the same time that Jesus knows that, Jesus says the most human phrase we could imagine. I'm thirsty. I'm thirsty. Like this shows us that Jesus, while he is fully God, Jesus is also fully human at the same time. And you may say, well, Brandon, why is that important to me? Like, why is it important that Jesus is fully human? In fact, I am human, and that's not always comforting to know that he was, you know, also human, but it is.

Church, you can trust the word of God. It is God's word for us, and you can trust it. In fact, the bible tells us no one who has ever trusted in the words of the Lord have ever been put to shame. You can trust the word of God. So read it. Read it. Read the word. Fall in love with his word. It is all true. It is all good. And if it's too hard and you're going, Brandon, I tried to read the word, but there's some far out stuff in Leviticus. Go to Psalms. [01:06:05] (43 seconds)  #ServeWithPurpose

We wanna know what we should be doing with our life. We don't wanna just and even in the church, we don't wanna just sit in a pew. We don't wanna just sit in a seat and leave. What kind of faith is that? What does that do for any of us or the world? Nothing. God, church, our hands are thirsty for purpose. They need to be serving. They need to be doing what God has called us to do, to be the church that is that is loving our neighbor as we love ourself, that is loving one another. [01:10:10] (36 seconds)  #DeadSeaScrolls

Now you may say, Brandon, why is this important? I can just take your word for it, but I don't want you to take my word for it. I want you to be utterly convinced that the bible is true. Like, I want you to be rock solid confident in every word of God. And so I don't want you to just take my word for it, and I don't even want us to just take John's word for it. I want us to look and see, is this is this true? [00:59:10] (28 seconds)  #WordsFromTheCross
