“Whenever we try to force Jesus to be what we want him to be, it inevitably will lead to us walking away.”

It’s convenient to stay with Jesus when life is going well, but when life goes south, where will we turn? Faith is not an easy walk, especially with the uncertain circumstances we are facing now. In John 6, Jesus talks about 5 difficult but important truths. Will you still stay strong in faith, knowing these hard truths?

Hard truth #1: Jesus is about His purposes, not ours (John 6:14-15)
Hard truth #2: Jesus prioritizes our spiritual needs over physical needs (John 6:26)
Hard truth #3: Jesus will not prove Himself to us (John 6:30)
Hard truth #4: Jesus demands total surrender (John 6:41-42)
Hard truth #5: God is sovereign (John 6:65).

Those who believe these truths, to be good truths, are the ones who truly stay with Jesus. These truths = eternal life.
.
Applications:
- Do you believe? Submit to God’s sovereignty and embrace it fully. If you have trouble believing, ask God to help you believe, as He will help those who have that desire.
- Believe that these truths assure us of his great faithfulness; we are in God’s hands.

“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
