To whom shall we go?

So I've been reading in the book of John. I've read it before but you can read the Bible many times over and still find new things, and still be awestruck by the verses.

John 6:67-69 caught me. I read it and felt it's power. The chapter talks about feeding the five thousand and Jesus walking on water and also the bread from Heaven. What first struck my interest in the chapter was Jesus being rejected. Then it continued with disciples turning away because they couldn't handle what Jesus what speaking of. After many had left, Jesus turned to the twelve and said, "Do you also want to go away?" Okay so this struck me in a number of ways because what an honor it is to be chosen by Jesus himself while he is on earth to follow Him everywhere and learn EVERYTHING directly from the mouth of the son of God. Wow. Also, to turn away from that, especially since they had very obvious physical proof that he is the Messiah, is crazy talk.

Anyways, those verses, John 6:67-69 goes as follows:
67"Then Jesus said to the twelve, 'Do you also want to go away?' 68 But Simon Peter answered Him, 'Lord to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.' 69 'Also we have come to believe and know that You are Christ, the Son of the living God."

For real? How awesome is that? "Lord to whom shall we go?" Like, where would I go if I didn't have Christ in my life? I would return to the world, the ugly worthless world. So basically I would go to nothing. It almost seems like Simon Peter was like "Um...Jesus....we got nowhere else to go cuz we have kinda been waiting awhile for you and you have the keys." Not only that but He professes that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God.

I don't know...just something that amazed me when I read it. Kinda cool how God's word can do that. Sweet.

Happy reading.
Peace
