John 6:67 says, Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Jesus asked if the twelve would leave Him also. There may come a day when we have to answer that question. Verse sixty-eight adds, Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. We need to be able to make this confession as Peter did. If Jesus is not Who He said He was and is, where will we go? There is no other way to salvation. Verse sixty-nine continues, And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God. Peter said that they believed and are sure that Jesus was that Christ, the Son of the Living God. We must believe and be sure of this above all else. Unless Jesus is Who He says He is, we have no hope. Verse seventy states, Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? Verse seventy-one adds, He spake of Judas Iscariot the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve. Then, Jesus said He chose the twelve, and one, Judas, was the devil. He did not send him away, and Judas still could have believed. If we are following without believing, we still have a choice.
