Learning from Jesus is essential. Are you distracted by other things? There are two points to today's sermon:

1) The Danger of the Many Things: there are lots of things we could give ourselves to- lots of things that capture our attention and that seem necessary. But when we view them as necessary it distracts us- it causes anxiety and worry, etc.
2) The Necessity of the One Thing: Jesus himself and his words is what we truly need- he is our life- our joy- everything. Giving ourselves to him, knowing him, abiding in him must have the highest priority in our lives.
