“From that [time] many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said
Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (John 6:66-69). “
I like Peter’s answer… where could we possibly go? You have what we want and need. I totally agree. Unfortunately, many of us are trying to make it without Him. But He REALLY IS the answer to the world’s problems. I’m not smart enough to make it without Him… and I’m not dumb enough to try! I wonder how many disciples there were before “many” went
back and walked with him no more. Not smart. Neither would it be too smart of us to turn back. No one said it would be easy but Christ walks with us. And not only that, He insists that we lean and depend upon Him. He says, “Come unto me, all [ye] that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my
yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke [is] easy, and my burden is light (Matt. 11:28-30).” Perhaps “many” disciples didn’t know this. Sometimes all we need is a paradigm shift. If we would simply change the way we view things, change our perspectives, we could make it.
“And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any [man] pluck them out of my hand. My Father, which gave [them] me, is greater than all; and no [man] is able to pluck [them] out of my Father’s hand (John 10:28-29).” That’s comforting to me. Yet, while no one can pluck me out… I can choose to walk away and turn back. BUT I choose Christ and the abundant life that He provides and have no intention of turning back. My mind’s made up and my heart is fixed because ‘I believe and am sure that He is the Christ, the Son of the Living God!’ Thanks for visiting, subscribing. Take care & be blessed.
