John 6:66-69
66 From that time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. 67 Then Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” 68 But Simon Peter answered Him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life. 69 Also we have come to believe and know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.”
Many left Jesus when He challenged them with truth and confronted their hearts to repent. But the 12 (11 actually) were asked if they also wanted to leave, Peter answered for them. Where else could they go? They knew Jesus had words that gave unending life with God, and believed He was the Son of God and the Anointed One. So they followed on to the death - and beyond. Do we follow at all costs also?
