John 6:66-69 – From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
“You do not want to
leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the
words of eternal life. We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One
of God.”
Luke 9:20 – “But what about you?” he asked. “Who do you say I am?”
Peter answered, “God’s Messiah.”
Acts 2:26-27 – Therefore my heart is glad and my tongue rejoices; my
body also will rest in hope, because you will not abandon me to
the realm of the dead, you will not let your holy one see decay.
Application:
- · Jesus had already made clear what discipleship meant, and many were not ready to receive life in the way He taught.
- · The predicted Deliverer had been desired for centuries.
- · God would not allow the Messiah’s physical body to decompose.
