The Word


  • A powerful statement: "You alone have the words that give eternal life." That makes Jesus' words the most significant ever spoken.

    We have them recorded in the Bible, available in a book and other media, via our phones and computers, on websites, and more.

    But how often do we read them? And when we do, do we really make them part of our lives? Or are they just words on a page that we read out of obligation, expectation, habit, or ritual?

    Think about it.

At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, "Are you going to leave, too?" Simon Peter replied, "Lord, to whom would we go? You alone have the words that give eternal life. We believe them, and we know you are the Holy One of God." (John 6:66-69 NLT)
