Will Ye Also?

Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? John 6:67

Following God isn't always easy. As a matter of fact, it rarely is. We have people who don't understand us coming from every direction--including other believers. And sometimes the lessons God has for us are just hard to grasp. That's what happened here. Jesus' teachings didn't make sense to the Jews, didn't seem to line up with how they thought God worked; and many of them stopped following because they didn't understand. They quit. Then Jesus asked His twelve closest disciples a question He had recorded for us, too: Will ye also go away? So what of it? When it gets difficult, when the world doesn't get your stand, when other believers don't like how you do things, when the truths of the Word seem to clash with how you've always been taught...what will you do then? Will you stick it out and cling to Him? Or will ye also go away?
