ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Have you ever watched someone you love walk away from Jesus? That silence after the footsteps fade—that's where we find ourselves in John 6:67-71. The crowds are gone. The fair-weather followers have disappeared. And Jesus turns to the twelve with a question that still echoes today: "Will ye also go away?" This isn't just ancient history. This is the question every believer faces when following Jesus gets hard, when the church feels empty, when your friends stop following Christ, and when the cost feels too high. In this powerful message from John 6:67-71, we unpack Peter's profound response: "Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life." Discover why this might be one of the greatest confessions in Scripture—not made during the miracle of loaves and fishes, but in the dust and silence after everyone left. What You'll Learn: ✝️ Why Jesus was willing to let His disciples walk away (and what that means for your freedom) ✝️ The difference between following a person vs. following a place, denomination, or tradition ✝️ What Peter understood that caused him to stay when others left ✝️ The shocking connection between Judas and the Antichrist as the "son of perdition" ✝️ How to stay faithful when watching others fall away from faith ✝️ Why "the words of eternal life" matter more than you think (and why the definite article "the" is significant) This isn't about guilt or manipulation—it's about understanding that following Jesus Christ is about relationship with a person, not obligation to a system. When the worship feels dry, when the blessings aren't flowing, when everyone else is walking away—to whom shall we go?
