There’s a verse for that!

After this many of his disciples turned back and no longer walked with him.  So Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “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” (John 6:66-68).

Have you had one of those moments when you just don’t know what to say, but a bible verse comes to mind. Yeah, me too, and usually it’s God’s prompting.  However, on the other side of that, we can’t just spit out bible verses to people and expect some miraculous result.  Look again at Simon’s response to Jesus, “to whom… WHOM shall we go?”  They had spent time with Jesus, they knew Him, and they knew He had the words of eternal life. They believed Him, and had come to know who He was.  It was relationship! 

Christianity is not just mere religion with a list of do’s and don’ts, it’s relationship of knowing God and knowing He knows us.  It’s revelation of Jesus, the incarnate God, who meets us right where we are.  Why?  Because you matter to Him. 

Father, You have given us Your words, so that we may believe Jesus is the Christ, and that by believing we may have life in His name.  Thank You Jesus, you haven’t lost an that are Yours, sanctify them in the truth! Amen.
