“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 6:67-69
When Jesus lived as a man among the people, He spoke
truth to them, taught the principles of God’s Kingdom, healed the sick,
cleansed lepers, raised the dead and cast out devils. I’m sure many people heard Him as He came
through their towns, and others traveled far to see and hear Him. Then they returned home.
But there was one group that put themselves in a position
to hear what Jesus said all the time as they followed Him closely every
day. They had to leave behind life as
they knew it to seize the opportunity to be and do something bigger than they
had ever known before. Because of their
commitment, they saw and heard many miraculous things. Their spiritual eyes were opened to see
farther than this life. Yet they had to
bear much ridicule and persecution from those who opposed the message…and there
were many of those. But the disciples of
Jesus stood firm in their commitment and did not turn back.
Which group do you belong to?
