After becoming popular and attracting many followers, Jesus taught about what we call the Incarnation, the Son of God becoming human flesh. The Incarnation made it possible for people to have eternal life. Instead of being overjoyed at this news, many so-called followers turned away from Jesus in John 6:41-71. After asking the his original followers if they also wanted to leave him, Peter responded with a question that can serve as a lifeline to us when we find it difficult to believe. (full sermon notes)
Although faith in Christ has become more and more of an individual matter in the West, those who became Christians in the New Testament...
Not only are believers in Jesus justified before God, but we also have peace, grace, hope, love, reconciliation, and salvation.
Christians need to learn to speak with joy, listen with discernment, and grow in grace.
