Jesus is underscoring our desperate need as we live out kingdom living during his teaching. Living according to this teaching of Jesus is impossible!

We need grace, cleansing, and we need help, but from where? Where do we turn in the midst of the difficulties in our lives? How do we square the tension we often experience in our hearts while searching for the peace of Christ we are promised? 

That brings us to our passage today where Jesus answers that unspoken but very real question.
