Many of the disciples of Jesus who were listening said, “This saying is hard; who can accept it?” Since Jesus knew that his disciples were murmuring about this, he said to them, “Does this shock you? What if you were to see the Son of Man ascending to where he was before? It is the Spirit that gives life, while the flesh is of no avail. The words I have spoken to you are Spirit and life.” Jn_6:60-69
Just shocking! Jesus’ point came across loud and clear. They either believed or did not. And it caused many of them to leave. But just to emphasize the point even more, Jesus told them another Truth, that would be even more shocking to them than consuming His Body and Blood. He was to ascend into the Heavens. He was to rise from the dead. He was to send the Holy Spirit to be with and in them forever!
Yes, sometimes words can be deceiving. But, we can be sure that every Word spoken from the mouth of Jesus, from the mind of God, are as True as existence itself. And even beyond. They are Eternally True. And that’s exactly why we Believe. Jesus proved every last impossibility! What HOPE we have beloved, if we just believed!
