We finally reached the end of the Bread of Life Discourse found in the Gospel of John (Chapter 6). It is at this point in Jesus' ministry that many disciples begin to wander off. It is not because they don't understand his "You must eat my body and drink my blood" metaphor; they were plenty sophisticated to understand Jesus was not promoting a form of cannibalism. Rather, they understand Jesus clearly to be talking about discipleship as an All-or-Nothing dynamic, of which most people are afraid. Twelve people remain standing, and Jesus asks them, point-blank: "And how about you? Will you also leave me?"
Spend a few minutes with me as we explore this story and see how the response may affect us and our journey of faith.
