• John 6:66-67

  The Message (MSG)

 

^66-67 After this a lot of his disciples left. They no longer wanted to be associated with him. Then Jesus gave the Twelve their chance: “Do you also want to leave?”



 There is no middle ground with Jesus. When he asked His disciples if they would also leave, He was showing that they could either accept or reject Him. Jesus was not trying to repel people with His teachings. He was simply telling the truth. The more the people heard Jesus' real message, the more they divided into two camps - the honest seekers who wanted to understand more, and those who rejected Jesus because they didn't like what they had heard.
