This is a good reality check again for us…if I were in the crowd that day would I have been one of the 4988 men that left Jesus or one of the 12 that stayed with Jesus?
Would I have followed the crowd in leaving Jesus, so I didn’t look like a fool in staying with Jesus?
In other words, would I have risked an unpopular decision according to the crowd & stayed with Jesus?
Unless you’re willing to admit that you are fully capable of leaving Jesus when staying with Jesus isn’t popular…it’s likely you don’t have a plan to be faithful to Jesus.
