Did you really say that?
Have you ever had that moment when, just as the words were coming out of your mouth, you knew this wasn’t going to end well? I sure have.
On the other hand, have you spoken the truth, even in a nice way, but it wasn’t received well? Probably.
There were times Jesus said things that were eternally true, but some people didn’t want to hear it. Some things he said were met with outright fury.
This weekend we’ll be in the last half of John 6. Jesus says some stuff that literally has the crowd outraged. In fact, by the end of the chapter, most people stop following Him.
I hope you can join us on Sunday! We’ll see what we can do to follow Jesus, even when we don’t fully understand Him. Better yet, we’ll learn how to have faith, even when we have questions.
“From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.” (John 6:66 NIV)
