You Have the Words of Life
“Getting To Know Jesus” – Lesson 065 in Volume 05
John 6:66-69

In John 6:66, people got discontented with Jesus and many stopped following Him. In the midst of His discouragement, He asked the Apostles if they were going to turn away also (v. 67). Peter, the impetuous one, boldly proclaims in verses 68—69 that Jesus is the only one who has the words of eternal life. They believe that He is the Son of God.

As I have talked with people about the greatest problem in the United States, I have gotten an almost universal answer: “We’ve gotten away from the Gospel”. As a nation, our people have gotten caught up in following the ways of the world instead of following Christ. Our churches have become increasingly afraid to stand up for what Jesus taught and did and try to “not offend anybody”. As a result, we have rampant sin, even in our churches, and a bunch of ignorant “Christians” who love Jesus but know little about His life and teachings.

It seems odd that most people see the problem, but seem hesitant to apply it to their own lives. We can always see another person’s faults better than we can see our own. We believe that we “know” all about Jesus and don’t realize how much we need to learn. We also seem to forget that regardless of our knowledge, we need to be teaching others who are even less knowledgeable than we are.

Getting To Know Jesus goes through every event in Jesus’ life so the student (disciple) can become fully knowledgeable of Him who has the words to eternal life. Find out how much you don’t know and help those around you to get to know Him better through your Getting To Know Jesus Bible study group.

Let’s get to work turning this nation back to Christ by starting in our own communities. After all, Jesus has the words of life. Don’t you want to know more about Him and see how He can make your life even better than it already is?
