Today’s reading is John 6:45-71
“After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him. So Jesus said to the Twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.” Jesus answered them, “Did I not choose you, the Twelve? And yet one of you is a devil.” He spoke of Judas the son of Simon Iscariot, for he, one of the Twelve, was going to betray him.”

All,
This stands out because John says, “After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.” Jesus says some wild things. He just spoke about eating His flesh and drinking His blood. Jesus loves everyone, but He doesn’t candy coat anything. Jesus knows we have to deny ourselves to follow Him and anything less isn’t abiding in Him. Please pray that we and our friends deny ourselves today, pick up our cross and chose to follow Jesus in every decision. Please pray for Darren and Bruce as they are building their group.
