Some disciples grumbled at His Word... I am the Bread of Life...
He said...
"Do you take offense at this? Then what if you were to see
the Son of Man ascending to where he was before?
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all.
The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.
But there are some of you who do not believe."
(For Jesus knew from the beginning who those were
who did not believe, and who it was who would betray him.)
John 6:61-64 ESV
Jesus let both Believers and unbelievers follow Him...
but eventually He said something offensive...
the offended... the weeds... stopped following...
Jesus dealt with rejection... just as we do...
those who try to follow His Word and His Way...
He knows how hard it is to be Wheat among weeds...
He knows the wheat from the weeds...
Find comfort and peace...
in the fact that He knows...
"Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you.
I do not give to you as the world gives.
Do not let your hearts be troubled
and do not be afraid. ..." ---Jesus
John 14:27
