'Are You Leaving, Too?' - John 6:67-69

Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, "Are you also going to leave?" Simon Peter replied, "Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words that give eternal life. We believe, and we know you are the Holy One of God."

John 6:67-69 NLT

Key Thought


We come to many crucial decision points in our lives. None is more important than this one. What do you do with Jesus? He has been pressing us to decide about him for several days. Most of the world will turn away from him. Even though God's grace has prepared the way, the path is too narrow and the demands too difficult for most people. Most don't want to have to give up control. Most want a messiah whom they can tame and manipulate and make into their servant. Jesus would be our King — -not just prince or prophet, not just rabbi or ruler, but King. So will we turn away? Will we leave? No, for he is King. Only he has the words of life.

Today's Prayer


Father God, please sweep out of my heart any competing loyalty that would disrupt my wholehearted devotion to Jesus. I want to follow him fully. Please help me find life in his words. In his name. Amen.
