MANY DISCIPLES DESERT JESUS

John 6:60-71

60 On hearing it, many of His Disciples said,

'This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?'

61 Aware that His Disciples were grumbling about this,

Jesus said to them,

'DOES THIS OFFEND YOU?

62 What if you see the Son of Man

Ascend to where He was before?

63 THE SPIRIT GIVE LIFE;

THE FLESH COUNTS FOR NOTHING.

THE WORDS I HAVE SPOKEN TO YOU ARE SPIRIT

AND THEY ARE LIFE.

64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.'

For Jesus had known from the beginning

Which of them did not believe

And who would betray Him.

65 He went He went on to say,

'THIS IS WHY I TOLD YOU

THAT NO ONE CAN COME TO ME

UNLESS THE FATHER HAS ENABLED HIM.'

66 From this time many of His disciples turned back

And no longer followed Him.

67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?”

Jesus asked the Twelve.

68 Simon Peter answered him,

'LORD, TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?

YOU HAVE THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE.

69 We believe and know

That you are the Holy One of God.'

70 Then Jesus replied,

'Have I not chosen you, the Twelve?

YET ONE OF YOU IS A DEVIL!'

71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot,

Who though one of the Twelve,

Was later to betray him.)

(John 6:60-71)

Today, many Christians

Are Offended by the Words of Christ Jesus;

They have Deserted Him;

They have sided

With the Wicked Culture that surrounds them.

They have forgotten that the Spirit gives Life;

The Flesh counts for Nothing.

The Father alone,

Enables us to receive Christ Jesus and His Word.

Christ alone has the Words of Life

They are available nowhere else.

Today, there are Judases in the Church;

Betrayers of Christ Jesus and His Word;

DEVILS.
