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)
No matter how long we have been Christians, we can always keep growing more and more in purity and love.
The chief priest could not control his wicked sons, so God removed them all and raised up the one who could intercede between humans...
Because they questioned and rejected Jesus’ authority, the chief priests were removed from their post and replaced by others from all the nations.
