I want to be clear. I am not suggesting this is an interpretation of John 6. Rather I saw some correlations we could examine as the bible is presented to us so that we might learn. The truth here is that Jesus had a mix of followers. Most were only following Him for carnal reasons and because carnal needs were being met. A small sliver however were following Him by faith in who He was and that He had the words of eternal life. In modern day churchianity we have a plethora of false teachers and churches that convince people to stay by appealing to their carnal needs. They present a false Christ devoid of any hard teachings like we saw in John 6. The true Gospel however divides. If preached, the lost will indignantly leave muttering, "This is a hard teaching, who can accept it?" Those that know Him will simply say, "Lord, to whom shall we go?" So where does this teaching find you today? Does it ring true or "d oes this offend you?" If so allow me to reiterate the words of our Lord and Savior one last time; "The Spirit gives life; the flesh counts for nothing."
Amen.
