Man apart from God is spiritually powerless.
In we have our second of the hard sayings of Jesus.
Remember, comes on the heals of a couple of Miracles that are profound.
Jesus feeds the multitudes and walks on water.
The crowd shows up the next day and wants more bread from Jesus.
These superficial flowers don’t want Jesus they simply want the good things Jesus gives.
Hairdryer - Take this hairdryer.
It is designed to blow out air a certain volume and at a certain speed and at a certain temperature.
It has been engineered and tested.
It has a button that says on but when you mash that button nothing happens.
Why? because this hairdryer as well engineered as it is, is not able to produce the action it is designed to apart from being connected to a power source.
At the end of the day it is powerless.
You were designed to be in relationship with a holy God.
You were designed to love him and enjoy him and know him.
Yet, Design is not enough.
You must connect with the power source in order to produce what you were designed to produce.
You must have power.
You must connect with the power source in order to produce what you were designed to produce.
17 times in the Gospels you will hear Jesus use this line come to me.
John
Jesus is saying Im food, Im drink, Im rest.
What’s the bottom line?

Like water, like air, like rest!
Jesus is not a luxury.
It doesn’t matter who you are.
It doesn’t matter what your educational background.
It doesn’t matter how much money you have in the bank.
It doesn’t matter how healthy you are.
It doesn't’ matter what color your skin is or what nationality you are - you need Jesus.

Jesus is teaching what Paul teaches in
This is the antithesis of Paul’s statement - phil 4:13 - I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.
Jesus highlights your spiritual inability!
Man’s sinful condition leaves him incapable of coming to Christ in his own strength.
Through the fall, and through our own sin, the nature of man has become so debased, and depraved, and corrupt, that it is impossible for him to come to Christ without the assistance of God the Holy Spirit.
We need a supernatural intervention by the Spirit of God to overcome our sinful condition.
