John 6:66-69 After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”
Many disciples left Jesus when He spoke about Himself being the bread of heaven. After all, it seemed gruesome to talk about eating His body and drinking His blood. Of course Jesus was speaking figuratively, but most people in His audience were offended.
Peter realized that there was nowhere else to go. No one else had words of eternal life. Only Jesus. Do you know this Bread of Life? Have you received His gift of eternal life? There is no other place you can go to receive this life. Only Jesus.
