21 Days in John - Day 6: Where Else Can We Go?

Please Read John chapter 6

Key Verse:

“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that you are the Christ, the Son of the living God” John 6:68-69

The disciples were confused when Jesus asked them where they could buy bread to feed a multitude of people. They did not see Jesus as the answer to the need.

The disciples were fearful in the storm and didn’t recognize Jesus as He approached them walking on the water. What man could possibly walk on the water in such a storm…. or even if there wasn’t a storm?

The disciples were puzzled by Jesus’ teaching and didn’t really understand Him! They said that His teaching was hard and unacceptable. They began to grumble and some of Jesus’ followers deserted Him.

It was a time of crisis and Jesus challenged the twelve – “You don’t want to leave me too, do you?” Though He tests us, He does miracles and feeds us. Though we are afraid, He walks on water and brings us to a place of safety. Jesus is either totally mad or He who is He says He is.”

Peter answers for the twelve and says, “Lord, to whom shall we go? We know that You are the Son of the Living God.” You may be confused, fearful or puzzled, but where else can you go for that which is eternal? Settle that issue and let Jesus deal with the confusion, fear and bewilderment and instead give you peace!
