    In our walk with Jesus, there comes a time when we will have to decide whether we want to follow Jesus all the way or will abandon our walk mid-way. This is a challenge which Jesus posed to his disciples,"Do you also wish to go away?" (Jn 6:67)

    God's people are forgiven sinners who have accepted Christ's sacrifice for their sins. Repentant people are accepted by God, but those who think they are good enough to enter heaven on their own merit will be cast out.
