John 6:65-71
Dear Brethren,
Good Thursday morning!
While Jesus was a great teacher, not everyone accepted nor liked what He had to say. In John 6, there were people who left Jesus because of the things that He said. They found Jesus's sayings too hard to accept.
Today, there are people who likewise find the teachings of Jesus hard to accept. Many of these people will walk away from Jesus and His teachings. In our encounters with those who are lost in sin, we must prepare ourselves to face the fact that some people will depart from God's word.
More importantly, are you and I continuing to accept the teachings of Jesus, or do we sometimes find Jesus's teachings too hard to follow? Let us be like Jesus's apostles and follow Jesus and His teachings. The apostles asked the question, “Lord, to whom shall we go?" Jesus has the "words of eternal life." Let us follow Jesus because we believe in Him and we know that He is the Christ, the Son of God.
Here is John 6:65-71 for your consideration.
John 6:65-71
65 And He said, “Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father.”
66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more.
67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?”
68 But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.
69 Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
70 Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?”
71 He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon, for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve.
In Love,
John Duvall
