There is often a tendency to use certain words, but to use them in a meaningless manner thru misuse or over usage. When this happens words can take on a meaning much different than originally intended. In other words, proper context in language is important. This fact of contextual understanding is especially important in understanding the Bible. 
 
Today Jesus redefines for us the word “great” and He puts this word in its proper context in relation to our eternal salvation!

“To Whom Shall We Go?” John 6:66-69

Our text this morning begins with the Apostle Paul, in prison, giving words of comfort to the Ephesian Christians in their faith, even when it was he, sitting alone in jail, that should’ve been comforted! 
 
So how could he do that? How could someone sitting in prison be so concerned with comforting and building up others in their faith?

Many of the things of God are no longer looked upon by a majority of people as black and white, they have now become a fuzzy gray. 
 
Unfortunately, many people allow for “circumstances and situations” where they rationalize their positions regarding the absolutes of God. But taking this position, can have dire consequences.
