John 6:69-68 BSB
From that time on many of His disciples turned back and no longer walked with Him. So, Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you want to leave too?” Simon Peter replied, “Lord, to whom would we go? You have the words of eternal life
Many had been saved and baptized but they got bored or afraid or greedy or selfish and walked away; but not the disciples, they showed true. Things haven’t changed much in the 2000 or so years since that day. People get all excited about Jesus, believe for a while and then walk away. They might not walk away physically; they still show up at worship and events, but spiritually they are not with Jesus any more. We cannot be like them. We need to be like Peter, realizing that what we have in Him is the best it gets and staying with it regardless of the trials and temptations of the world. Peter’s words ring true today “to who would we go?” There is no one else like Jesus, our savior and redeemer.
Prayer:
Christ my Savior, thank you for saving me, for grace and for eternal life. Lead me to do your will that I might repay a tiny bit of what you have given me. Amen.
