Scripture:
John 6:68-69 "Simon Peter replied, Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe and we know that You are the Holy One of God".
Observation:
Jesus had just made a difficult statement concerning eating His body and drinking His blood and many of those who were folowing Him turned away. He looked at His disciples and asked the question "Are you also going to leave?" Peter replies, "to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life." Peter realizes that there is no other way except through Jesus Christ and is willing to follow Him, no matter what everyone else does.
Application:
Many people get frustrated when life is difficult. They might think it is easy to follow Jesus, then when trials come they fall away. We must be people who realize that, no matter what the world has to offer, Jesus has the words that give life. He is the only way, no matter how we feel on any given day. He is the answer we need. May we become people who don't walk away when things get difficult. Walking away is too easy.
Prayer:
Lord, let me never walk away. May You light shine through me when things are good and when things are bad. I want to be a disciple of Christ, a follower to the end. Stengthen us that we may be more like Your disciples. You have the words of eternal life. Let us be people who are not swayed by opinions of other, but by the will of God.
Your Son,
Jeff
