John 6:61 & 66
61 Aware that his disciples were grumbling about this, Jesus said to them, “Does this offend you?
66 From this time many of his disciples turned back and no longer followed him.
I love the way the Message Bible states verse 61. John 6:61 “Jesus sensed that his disciples were having a hard time with this and said, “Does this throw you completely?” Jesus was a true teacher. He sensed these Jews were not understanding. As a matter of fact, they were downright frustrated. So, what did the Good Teacher do? Well, as you read on you will see He tried stating the information in a different way. He did not just give up on them.
In the end, they walked out on Him. He did not walk out on them. As a matter of fact, He would have still been there for them if they decided to turn around and try again. Good news! He will do the same for you!
We all get frustrated sometimes. We don’t understand why God does some things to some people. We may even be tempted to walk away. God is prepared to be there for you. He is prepared to wait for you as you grieve. He is the Ultimate Teacher after all. Patience is kind of His thing.
Lord, thank You for being patient with me. ~amen
