~ Regarding Who, 3 ~
Introduction
~ This series is about questions
involving Jesus. Some were asked by
individuals involved with Jesus Christ while He walked on earth. Others are questions that Jesus Christ asked
others. We will look at questions on over
160 topics (some may split into two or more posts). Even so, it is far from an exhaustive
list.
Scripture
~ “Therefore many of His
disciples, when they heard this, said, ‘This is a hard saying; who can
understand it?’
“When Jesus
knew in Himself that His disciples complained about this, He said to them, ‘Does
this offend you? What then if you should
see the Son of Man ascend where He was before?
It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and
they are life. But there are some of you
who do not believe.’ For Jesus knew from the beginning who they were who did
not believe, and who would betray Him. And
He said, ‘Therefore I have said to you that no one can come to Me unless it has
been granted to him by My Father.’
“From that
time many of His disciples went back and walked with Him no more. Then Jesus said to the twelve, ‘Do you also
want to go away?’
“But Simon
Peter answered Him, ‘Lord, to whom shall
we go? You have the words of eternal
life. Also we have come to believe and
know that You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.’
“Jesus
answered them, ‘Did I not choose you, the twelve, and one of you is a devil?’ He spoke of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon,
for it was he who would betray Him, being one of the twelve” (John 6:60-71).
