John 6:67-69

“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.”

From Background Notes [BN] for Oct 25th & 26th written by Pastor Bob Brown:

What this series ultimately asks is “Will you follow Jesus?” What you won’t hear is “Will you accept this list of basic beliefs?” or

 

“Try out Jesus” or “Come and have all of your needs met.” None of those invitations ever left the lips of Jesus when he spoke plainly the words, “Come, follow me.” Instead, he challenged everyone who would join him in his call for the coming kingdom of God, “Deny yourself, take up your cross, and follow me” (Luke 9:23). In other words, choose the life you are willing to live and die for; choose that life that only makes sense because Jesus lived, died, and rose again to make it possible. The truth of following Jesus lies precisely in this: The way we live our lives would make no sense unless God raised this Jesus from the dead. [BN,3]
