This week we begin worship with the following question:
“Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God.”
This question, by Peter, was in response to one asked by Jesus:
So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?”
And this occurred when many left the ministry after Jesus explained “It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh is no help at all.” and “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted him by the Father.”
But Peter understood that the very fact that he, himself, believed was proof that God had granted him to come. And that though his own flesh would eventually fail that God would remain faithful.
To whom, indeed, would we turn instead?
