John 6:66-69 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the Twelve,“Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”
Many of those following Jesus during his earthly ministry were nothing more than "fair weather fans!" They were willing to follow him to see him heal, perform miracles, and even listen to some of his teachings. But when his teaching got "personal" and began to make demands upon them, their true colors showed and they disappeared.
At this point, Jesus turns to the Twelve and asks them if they want to go as well. Peter replies, and in his response, he hits the proverbial nail squarely on the head. In considering the other options ... none compared with Jesus. After all, he is the only one who has the TRUTH ... and Peter knew that because he knew who Jesus was ... "The Holy One of God!"
Friends, there are a lot of voices that call out to us.But there is only ONE voice that we need to heed! And that is the voice of God as given to us in His Word. So, beware of the lies that bombard your ears every day. Replace them with the Truth as given in the Scriptures.
Thanks for stopping by . . .
