John 6:60-71 60 On hearing it, many of his disciples said, “This is a hard teaching. Who can accept it?” 61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you? 62 Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! 63 The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. 64 Yet there are some of you who do not believe.” For Jesus had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. 65 He went on to say, “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless the Father has enabled them.” 66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him. 67 “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Jesus asked the Twelve. 68 Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 We have come to believe and to know that you are the Holy One of God.” 70 Then Jesus replied, “Have I not chosen you, the Twelve? Yet one of you is a devil!” 71 (He meant Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, who, though one of the Twelve, was later to betray him.)
Last time we talked about the Lord Jesus is the bread of life, and whoever eats this bread, eats His flesh and drinks His blood has eternal life. The Lord Jesus means spiritually, that is, to receive His life and to have His life in us. Jews understand from human point of view, so they could not accept it. The Lord Jesus said, “Does this offend you? Then what if you see the Son of Man ascend to where he was before! ” What does this mean, that means they will find it more difficult to accept. Why? Before the Lord Jesus was crucified, the high priest asked him if he was the Christ, the Son of God. “I am,” said Jesus. “And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Mighty One and coming on the clouds of heaven.” (Mark 14:62) The high priest said that he had been blasphemy, and he would be condemned to death. So when the Son of Man Jesus said he would ascend to where he was before and that he is the Son of God, the Jews would be offended even more, thinking that this was blasphemy. The Lord Jesus continued: The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing. The words I have spoken to you—they are full of the Spirit and life. The Lord Jesus spoke the words of God the Father. It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.’ The Lord Jesus is the Son of God, He knows everything, and He had known from the beginning which of them did not believe and who would betray him. Because of the Lord’s words, many disciples stopped following Him. When the Lord asked the twelve disciples, “You do not want to leave too, do you?” Peter answered, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” Peter believed that the Lord Jesus is the Son of God, the Messiah, the Savior of the world .
Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12)
There is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we are saved. Other religions cannot save people. There is no way to eternal life, only Jesus has the words of eternal life. But one of the twelve disciples, Judas, was the devil, and later he betrayed Jesus. I hope that more people will believe in the Lord and follow the Lord, because only He has the words of eternal life.
May God bless you and your family. 🙏😀
