John 6:66

There is much turning away from Him

From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him (John 6:66) 

The number of the beast dear reader, is represented in the turning away from the Christ. Easter approaches and there is much turning away from Him, denying Deity. God Friday (I did not miss an o, you read correctly) approaches, and the question I ask you is Do you walk toward, or walk away from who Jesus claimed to be?

He addressed the twelve Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? (John 6:67).

Allow the question to sink into your psyche, and absorb into your being. He asks you directly dear one, and this is a tipping point, a pivotal moment in your time, here on earth. Being in His company, following Him, and seeing all that He had miraculously performed with hundreds of witnesses, was not enough for the crowds. Hardened hearts turned back, no longer following Him, and this may be you dear one, but it doesn't have to be; you could be like the rock, Simon Peter, professing truth irresistibly

Eternal life or finite 

Jesus, hanging on the
cross for our sins
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? Thou hast the words of eternal life. And we believe and are sure that thou art that Christ, the Son of the living God (John 6:68--69) 

Eternal life or finite. The ever after or the here and now. When looking into the eyes of Jesus as He asks Will ye also go away? Do you see into forever or do you look to your today, and walk away, like Judas?

Jesus answered them, Have not I chosen you twelve, and one of you is a devil? He spake of Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon: for he it was that should betray him, being one of the twelve (John 6:70-71)

Infamous Judas
Do you see it dear one, the betrayal of Christ in the turning away? If you have followed Him, if you have watched and witnessed Him, and He has touched your heart tenderly with love, do you dare  betray Him by walking away, just as the infamous Judas did? How could you do such a thing dear one, to The One? The Holy One of God? If He has called you, chosen you, will you be a disciple or a devil?

6:66, the mark of the beast is on those who knew Him and walked away...
