No Turning Back.

John 6:67
67 "You do not want to leave too, do you?" Jesus asked the Twelve.

It's often some of the simplest lessons that Jesus teaches that offers the most meaningful messages. I don't know if it's just because we like to think simple or not, but I do know that today's verse poses a very deep question. It is our job to always approach God willing to learn and grow. I said it recently, but there's always a risk involved. This is one of those that you're better off taking unlike trying to take the risk where you determine if you can survive a jump from a bridge.

Surprisingly, many of Jesus' disciples decided to turn around and not follow Jesus when he asked such a critical question. Sure you can be a servant with a sympathy hat on pouring your heart out to Jesus every now and then, but are you really walking with him day by day?

We can't walk with Jesus without developing a strong, intimate relationship with him. Don't look at it as something that you have to try and put forth great forth effort in order to sustain a close relationship with Christ. Instead, naturally learn to trust and depend on him. Live your life according to God. Eventually, you'll find it easier and then you can preach your journey to the world and how you accomplished it. I mentioned the risks that may await in the shadows. Hey, don't worry about them. Focus on your present relationship with the Lord. That's how you walk with Jesus.

YOU have been chosen to be with Christ because of his vast love for you! My question for you today is: will you follow or will you turn away?

This is a more modern version of the song "I Have Decided To Follow Jesus" compared to what many of you are used to hearing I'm sure. It is sung by Aaron Pelsue.



P.S. If you have trouble with the video stopping and starting, keep the video paused, and let it "buffer" (load) as it's called for a while. You will see the red bar along the bottom advance (speed depends on your Internet connection). Wait until that bar gets pretty far along (I'd say more than halfway) before you play the video and it shouldn't pause. P.S.
