To whom shall we go?

Take a look at Jesus at the end of John 6. Many of his followers have just left him. Perhaps a little dejected, he turns to the Twelve and says, “You do not want to leave too, do you?”

“Simon Peter answered him, ‘Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God.’

“Then Jesus replied, ‘Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil! (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)” (John 6:67-71, NIV)

The Twelve heard the good news and found life. They reacted to Jesus’ words and believed. They received the salvation the crowd rejected.

Jesus has the words of eternal life for you and me today. To whom shall we go if not to him? He is the Holy One of God. There is no other who offers life.

Leave your religious works. There is no hope in man’s goodness. Leave your chasing after miracles. There is no salvation in the fantastic. Leave your “Jesus was a good teacher” falsehood. There is no rescue offered by anyone but the Son of God. Leave your conviction-dodging ways. There is no eternal life for those who refuse to repent of sin.

Have you believed? Will you believe? When? What are you waiting for?
