1. Many of Jesus disciples turned away when he gave them a hard to understand teaching about having eat his flesh and drink his blood.
2.Until we understand that Jesus was speaking a spiritual metaphor, we might also be tempted to walk away. It's a hard to fathom teaching.
3.The next statement He made is the one I believe every Christian has to answer at one time or another. "Do you also want to leave ?"
4. Every one of us at some time is tested to the point that we must decide "Do I want to leave this faith relationship with Jesus ?"
5.Whether it's 1.a crisis circumstance; 2.a loss; 3.a tragedy; 4.an unanswered prayer;5.a spiritual dry spell where His presence seems gone; 6.or a struggle to forgive We all face the test where we must answer "Do you want to leave?"
6.I want my answer to be like Peter's, "Lord to whom could we go? You have the words of eternal life" John 6:68
7. More than likely we will face this question more than once in our walk with our Heavenly Father.
8. If you stop and count the cost you should find that it's not expedient to go back to the beggerly elements,habits,enslavements,of the world. It would cost you eternally. This life is only a millisecond compared to eternity.
