That You May Believe Series – Session 22: Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

In this sermon from John 6, we examine one of the most challenging moments in Jesus’ ministry. After feeding thousands and attracting large crowds, Jesus teaches that He is the living bread from heaven and that eternal life comes only through Him. His words force a decision: will people trust Him, follow Him, and receive Him by faith, or will they walk away? Many who were called disciples chose to leave when they realized the cost of following Jesus. In contrast, Peter declared, “Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life.” This sermon explores the difference between casual association with Jesus and genuine discipleship. It also highlights the danger of outward religious activity without true faith, as seen in Judas. Ultimately, every person faces the same choice. Jesus is not merely a teacher to admire but the Savior to trust, follow, and believe for eternal life.
