Many Became More Religious But A Few Would Be Faithful

John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
John 6:64 But there are some of you that believe not. For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were that believed not, and who should betray him.
John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.
John 6:66 From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
John 6:67 Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
John 6:68 Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.
John 6:69 And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God.


One of the greatest characteristics of Christ is that He never joked about anything. I don't see Him joking about the salvation of lost souls!
He never made a side-show out of one of the many healings He did.
I don't believe He even crack a smile when He said: "Ye must deny yourself and take up your cross and follow Me."
Christ never left anybody wondering what He preached. He always made sure He said what the Father said to Him.
Jesus told a man that he had to repent or he would perish and He wasn't grinning when He said!
The souls of man-kind was very serious to Him, a far cry from so many today that claim to be saving the world.

We have preachers today that are making people become more religious and less Christlike!

Jesus said in John 6:63: "It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak are spirit, and they are life."

What Jesus said here cannot be mistakened! He said the spirit makes alive and He said the flesh profits nothing!

Why then does so many want to be religious rather than disciples of Christ?

John 6:65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.

Jesus said that no man can come to Him except He was given the ability from God.

John 6:66 says that from that time many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.

Instead of being led of the Spirit, they have allowed their flesh to lead them! It that way today in many churches, flesh is in control the Spirit of the living God has departed!

As many left following Jesus to become more religious, He turns to the twelve disciples and ask: "Will you also go away?"
Simon peter says: "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's two camps then and there's two camps today.
A religious flesh that wants to add Jesus to their inventions of man.

And there's a people that has heard the living word that are spirit and life speak to them and have been made alive! They know__that there's no other to go to. Christ only has the words of eternal life! They know that the flesh profits nothing! They know and are sure the Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God!

Now which camp are you in? You are in one of them.
