Have you heard of this story? There was a young man who lived in Germany. He really loved beer. He would come home from work, open up his fridge, and have a nice cold beer. That was the greatest joy of his life. But one day he came home and opened the fridge but he was out of beer. He wanted to drink beer so badly but every once in awhile, he would run out. He would think, "Oh! I need to have some beer! What should I do? But I can’t go out and get it right now.”

One day, he had an idea. “How about if I connect the pipeline from the beer factory to my house!” He made this his goal in life. He went to the beer factory and met the manager.

“Hello! How are you, Mr. Manager?”

“Oh, yes, how are you?”

“The beer from your company is so tasty!

“Oh, wow, thank you! What brings you here?”

“I came to ask for a special request.”

“What is it?”

“I want to connect the pipeline from the tank in your factory to my house.”

The manager replied, “Well that’s a great idea. But we’re not going be selling that much beer to one person. We cannot do that for you.”

The man went back home. But he came back the next day. He came back again the next day and kept on asking the manager. The manager of the beer factory contacted a pipeline company and asked for an estimate. They sent to him and estimate and when that young man came to the factory, the manager showed him the estimate. The man agreed to do it. The workers from the pipeline company came and connected the pipeline.

The guy called all his friend saying he’s going to have a beer party. All his friends came over. There were glasses everywhere. But where’s the beer? There’s no beer. The guy said, “Hey, don’t worry. Look at all the faucets in my home. All the faucets painted red are the faucets of beer. If you turn it on, you will get beer!"

If you connect the pipeline from the beer factory to your house, when you open up the faucet, you’re gonna get a beer. If you believe the words of Jesus, it means the pipe of the heart has been connected between you and Jesus. If we were to labor to become like Jesus it would be so hard. But when your heart becomes connected with the heart of Jesus, you become one heart. Then the life inside of Jesus becomes your life. Then the righteousness inside of Jesus becomes your righteousness. Then the holiness inside of Jesus becomes your holiness. In the heart of Jesus, there is holiness, there is righteousness, there is love, there is wisdom, and there is power and it all becomes ours when we are connected with him.
