(John 6:66) Hello there, Reading a poem entered by Yowm, ('Hidden Hook', in the songs of praise poetry club), in which he quoted this verse, caused me to read the chapter to see it's context; and I would like to ask the question:- what, within this context, caused many of our Lord's disciples to walk no more with Him, and why? Thanking you in anticipation. In Christ Jesus Chris Jesus is always eternal and spiritually minded as is His Father. To God real birth is second birth, real death is second death. Jesus was speaking spiritually, "The word became flesh and dwelt amount us." The context of John. The eating of human flesh and drinking of blood is repulsive, as it should be, especially to the Jew. The consumption of this was a very very hard statement to take. And if we were a Jew in that day standing in the criud we would have walked also. That was over the line for many well most as we can read. The scriptures are harsh and we are soft. The religious leaders were not properly teaching the people. The disciples were not yet born again either. But for us, eat the word, believe the word. Edited September 21, 2018 by Zemke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
