There’s something about this simple verse that gets me right in the middle of my heart. I can imagine the Twelve—Jesus’ closest earthly friends—watching the crowd disperse. All those people returning to their homes and their “regularly scheduled lives,” while these chosen ones remained without a shelter, without the assurance of a warm meal, without the security of predictability. Then Jesus asks if they want to go away, too. Simon Peter’s answer makes me weep: “Lord, to whom shall we go? (KJV)” Indeed. He didn’t know where Jesus was heading. He didn’t know what tomorrow held. But he knew he loved and trusted Jesus…and that was enough. I pray we never “go away” from our faith in Him. There is no one or any other way to eternal life except by Jesus Christ.
