After Jesus spoke of Himself as the bread of life -- "... unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man, and drink His blood, you have no life in you." [v53], many of the crowd and disciples (not the Twelve) left, because they did not understand. When Jesus asked the Twelve if they wished to leave, Peter responded, "Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. We believe and know that you are the Holy One of God [YHWH]."
Times are difficult. After re-encountering this passage recently through a message at my church, the Holy Spirit showed me new insight. I don't always understand my circumstances, and by no means do I understand God's sovereignty, but as with Peter where else will I go? Jesus is indeed the One to follow toward eternal life in Heaven with my Creator! Praise God!
