"Therefore when Jesus perceived that they were about to come and take Him by force to make Him king. He departed again to a mountain by Himself alone." John 6:15
The people and disciples followed Him here....and looked for Him there. The rest of that chapter is one blowtorch truth after another....until these many disciples could bear no more....(please read through this chapter....stopping and meditating every few verses)....the final straw was verse 65...."Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has been granted to him by My Father."
Folks this may very well happen to us....where there will be a point when the evangelicals reject the Jesus of Scripture because that Jesus does not want to make America great again....and then Jesus will in effect look at....hopefully you and me....and ask as He did his twelve disciples in verse 67...."Do you also want to go away?"
Peter must have been a little shook up himself after the barrage of difficult to understand truths that Jesus had given one after another....and so it may with us.....you and I....as the delusion that reigns now in the form of Christian nationalism....with multitudes absolutely blinded to the most clear and simple evidences that evangelicalism has taken a wrong road. May God keep us and have mercy on us...that we might have the faith and the strength to say as did Peter....
"Lord....to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." (verses 68, 69)
