But then Jesus says something unexpected—something difficult… even offensive. And in that moment, everything changes.Many who once followed Him begin to walk away.In this powerful, verse-by-verse teaching from John 6:50–71, Pastor Christian from Calvary Kona unpacks one of the most challenging passages in the Bible—where Jesus declares Himself the Bread of Life and calls His followers into something deeper than surface-level faith.This message explores:Why Jesus didn’t chase the crowds or soften His wordsWhat it really means to “eat His flesh and drink His blood”The difference between consumer Christianity and true discipleshipWhy God sometimes doesn’t answer our prayers the way we expectHow Jesus uses hard truths to reveal what’s really in our heartsYou’ll be challenged to ask an honest question:👉 Am I following Jesus for what I can get… or because He has the words of eternal life?This teaching brings us to a defining moment—just like the disciples faced:When things get uncomfortable… will you stay, or will you walk away?Like Peter said:“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.”📖 Scripture: John 6:50–71
