TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?

TO WHOM SHALL WE GO?

One day Jesus made some statements which were very hard for people to understand, and many who had been following Him turned away and went elsewhere. This being done the world over today also. When humanity comes to a situation or teaching they can not readily understand, there is a tendency to give up, and turn somewhere else.

So many of the "followers" turned away, that Jesus asked, (though He knew all the time what was going to happen) if the twelve would also depart from following Him.

John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.

There is an experience in God, which, if we attain to it, there is no question about turning back or away from God. But if our experience in God is shallow-- the "sinner's prayer" type, we might be in real danger of losing faith in Jesus at some point in our lives. A deep experience in God is vital to a robust Christian Life. We need to seek God for such an experience with Him.

David had obtained an experience with God which transformed and shaped his life. He became an outstanding example of one whose love for God and His House. The depth of our love is also determined largely by the depth of our experience in God.

Psalms 73:25 Whom have I in heaven [but thee]? and [there is] none upon earth [that] I desire beside thee.

It is an exercise in futility for us to put trust or hope in any other but Jesus Christ, and the Salvation which He offers to us.

Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Titus 1:2 In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;

Matthew 16:16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God.

John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
