John 6:68 “Simon Peter answered him,’Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”‘ Peter asked the same question you and I would ask–the most important question man can ask. The answer is so obvious to every faith filled Christian—there is nowhere else, other than Jesus. The world is lost in it’s answer. The question—where does one go for truth?—I don’t really know– wherever you want because there is no known absolute truth. The answer; however, is an easy one in the Christian world–we camly and confidently adhere to the absolute truths of our Savior. Have a great weekend.

John 6:66 “From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.” The impossible happened. Jesus explained truth and many would not believe. There is no difference today. Many reject God and His truth. The most important truth of our universe and the truth which gains eternal life is not only ignored, it is denied. Can man be more foolish? It’s like looking into a mirror and denying the reflection of yourself—you conclude it’s someone else. Thank God that He has led you to faithfulness and eternal salvation. There is nothing better.

John 6:58 “Your ancestors ate manna and died, but whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.” Jesus always speaks words of absolute truth. As you and I eat food we know we are nourishing our body, but we also know, even though we eat nutritiously, we will die. Jesus tells us—-no, you won’t die—believe in Me and live gloriously forever. Now, God has given you and me a free will—adopt the words of Jesus–learn of Him–develop a close relationship with Him—enjoy being His loved, adopted child or hope for the best, whatever that is.

John 6:52 “Then the Jews began to argue sharply among themselves, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?”‘ Although Jesus had a curious audience, He did not have listeners who understood what He was saying. The same is true in history before Jesus’s time, after Jesus’s time and even today. When Jesus tells the world the truth, the world evaluates and determines their own truth. When Jesus says—I am the bread of life–the world foolishly thinks–does that mean we eat you? How sad the thinking of the world. How blessed are His faithful followers.

John 30-31a “But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. I am the living bread that came down from heaven..” Faith guarantees eternal life. Jesus wants all to know Him. Those statements can seem very complicated or be extremely simple. Jesus is life. He wants the world to know this simple truth. Man seems to love making life complicated with so many–buts. But what if-but what about this-but others think-but-endless buts. Jesus simply says–I bring eternal life. Let’s eliminate the but and enjoy His absolute truth. Have a great weekend.
