The Good News about Jesus is the easiest yet hardest news to receive and believe. It's hard because it requires a person to make everything and everyone 2nd, 3rd, 4th...and to receive Jesus as The Lord and King or first and All in All forever. It's easy because once Jesus is Lord of a person he gives everyone and everything back to them in the right order and in goodness and abundance. He cleans house and organizes the chambers of our heart, soul and mind. He does it himself because he's the living God. By becoming All in All , he also transforms people to be ALIVE in the Spirit which is to be ALIVE forever. Through faith the Good News of who Jesus is so infuses and transforms a person in mind, soul and spirit that it causes them to say what Peter replied when Jesus asked him, "Are you also going to leave?" Jesus asked this because many who were following started abandoning him once the teachings got hard. I can feel Peter's heart and relate to his reply to the core, and know many who would reply the same. I also trust many more will come into this amazing faith sooner then later. I THANK The Lord that Jesus is All in All....and more then enough.

Don't turn away from Jesus when the truth starts stinging or becomes so unpopular that your flesh can't take it. Let your flesh die, let popular opinion die, let political correctness die and let the Life of Jesus rule through the Power of the Holy Spirit and through the Word of God.

"Many of his disciples said, “This is very hard to understand. How can anyone accept it?” Jesus was aware that his disciples were complaining, so he said to them, “Does this offend you? Then what will you think if you see the Son of Man ascend to heaven again? The Spirit alone gives eternal life. Human effort accomplishes nothing. And the very words I have spoken to you are spirit and life. But some of you do not believe me.” (For Jesus knew from the beginning which ones didn’t believe, and he knew who would betray him.) Then he said, “That is why I said that people can’t come to me unless the Father gives them to me.” At this point many of his disciples turned away and deserted him. Then Jesus turned to the Twelve and asked, “Are you also going to leave?” Simon Peter replied, “LORD, TO WHOM WOULD WE GO? YOU HAVE THE WORDS THAT GIVE ETERNAL LIFE. WE BELIEVE, AND WE KNOW YOU ARE THE HOLY ONE OF GOD. " (John 6:60-69)
