​62. To Whom Shall We Go?

Lord, to whom shall we go?”

It’s something Peter says after Jesus tells his disciples they’re to eat his body and drink his blood to sustain everlasting life.

He’s speaking metaphorically, of course, but still. You can imagine the concern.

But not Peter. He doesn’t walk away because where would he go?

Nowhere.

I relate to how Peter feels. I think of the “easier” path. How its hidden cliffs and edges no longer look appealing. You can give your heart, mind, and body away in so many different fashions. But in the end, what do you have?

Nothing.

I’m betting my life on Jesus. I’m giving up everything for the life I know I’ll have with Him. It sounds risky doesn’t it? To consume the God of the universe in such a way that earthly bread and wine could never satisfy?

But none of us get out of this alive in the end. We have to place our souls somewhere.

And I know wholeheartedly to whom I shall go.
