Fresh Bread
30 May 2007 
Last night we finished up The Life You Were Meant to Live series by taking a look at John 6. When the passage is kept in its context, it really is a fascinating look at belief and commitment. Many were coming to Jesus with wrong motives - they just wanted another free meal. Others just wanted another sign before they would considering believing. Still others were offended by Jesus’ words and they turned and stopped following Him. I think that at one time or another, I have had those types of thoughts and feelings regarding Jesus. In the end, when our faith is waivering and our commitment is on the line, we want to be able to rise up like Peter and say, “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 6:68-69) I look forward to interacting with your thoughts, concerns, and questions about this passage and the entire series.

I had a Peter moment this past week. I recently engaged some family members in where they were at with Christ in their walk. I ignorantly assumed we were ALL on the same page being that we all grew up in the same church denomination. However, I was amazed. God has really been opening my eyes lately to the poor theology out there amongst professing Christians. I left one of the conversations questioning what I believe… maybe I have had it all wrong. But then, I thought — where else would I go? Who else would I serve? I began feel conviction and reassurance at the same time. My moment of foolishness had turned into a moment of clarity - I know the truth and it has set me free. I then prayed… Father, thank You for saving me, and giving me the ability to know and believe in the truth that is in Your son, Jesus Christ, alone. Forgive me for my unfaithfulness. Amen.
