The Family Altar Audio Devotional - Day 137

Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it? When Jesus knew in himself that his disciples murmured at it, he said unto them, Doth this offend you? What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life. But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him. And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father. From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. (John 6:60-69) 22 You know, man hasn’t changed very much. He’s still wandering about in the world seeking pleasure, restless, never satisfied, never coming to any right conclusions, never finding rest. He’s just about in the same condition that he was when he left God in the garden of Eden and went out to shift for himself. He’s been shifting ever since. And he finds it’s a rough way to go. And it looks like he doesn’t care very much, to many, just where this life will end up for them. 23 And if we could set down and take inventory, and ask the question of why are we here? How come that we ever come on this earth and what brought us here? And where is our eternal destination going to be? 24 I believe if we would all think that way for five minutes of our life, seriously, we would all speak like Peter did. Because Peter had found something in Jesus Christ that isn’t in other men. That’s the reason he asked, “To whom would we go?” He didn’t say, “Where will we go?” “To whom will we go? For Thou has the words of Eternal Life.” And wonder why that—that Jesus was so much different from other men. Why was it that He…? Or what was it He had that other men does not have? There was something about Jesus that no man has, or had had to that time. And it made Him different. 25 And I think it’s the same thing tonight, that a man when he becomes a Christian, there’s something about him that’s different from all the other walks of life. No matter how good; he may be a good citizen, go the second mile, or be a good neighbor, but when he comes in contact with Jesus, there’s something changes in him. There’s something makes him different, noticeable different. 60-0606 - "To Whom Would We Go?" Rev.
