To Whom Shall We Go?

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Feb 9, 2022

When Jesus spoke about the Bread of Life, His analogies troubled a lot of His hearers who found His teaching hard to understand (John 6:51-65) and ended up walking away from Him. In asking the disciples if they wanted to go away, Peter's response was the model of faith and assurance (vv.67-69).

Jesus' teachings either inspired or infuriated those who heard Him. They continue to have the same effect on anyone who read His words as recorded in the Scriptures today and decides whether to surrender their lives to Him or reject His mercy and reap the eternal consequences. When He taught ...read more

Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. Uzziah ...read more
