From that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with
him. Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away? Then Simon Peter
answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life (v
65 – 69).
Today Jesus is asking you will you go back to the system or
the world. What Then Is The System?
The system refers to the normal ways of living on this
modern world today. To live peacefully on this earth, then you have to follow
the principles of the system, because of this, Christians are troubled always.
The system defines and controls everything under the sun, the world, especially
the youth. If you will not follow the
system ways of life then you are not civilize enough as our friends always
argue with us. Because of this many Christians are deviating from the truth
blindly and makes it difficult to identify a Christians from an unbeliever
today. Christians are committing fully
to the system instead of the word of God, thinking is normal
.
Today, for example, Christian’s women (our mothers) are not afraid and
ashamed to dress half naked, saying "this really look good and smart on me",this is so just because
is common and generally accepted to everyone in the system. Men in the Lord (our fathers) are
also destroying their body with alcoholic drinks and women whether married or
not. You cannot differentiate couple in Christ and worldly couples in terms of
dressing and speech. They dress and say the same profane worlds that the earthly
women say. Christian’s youth today seems to love the secular songs and movies
instead of spiritual ones which will boost their faith in the lord.
Though the world and it people thought it is fair to
practices anything possible to make one-self happy. This rule is directly
opposite to Christians rules. Christians ought to make God happy not to live by our own interest.
So while Jesus was teaching the population too was gradually decreasing till it left only the twelve disciples. Many Christians have gone back to their old ways of life after following Christ for a short period of time thinking Christianity is complicated and boring. (John 6: 66)

Indeed the beginning
of everything in this life is simple, but becomes complex at the maturity
stage. This principle does not work differently in Christian’s life, as we are
growing and increasing our faith in God, through the son Jesus Christ obstacles
will come our way. Our reactions to these obstacles will determine who we are
to Christ.
Jesus Christ is powerful enough to see and hear the words of
our heart and mind before we speak them out to Him or our fellow men. (V 61, 64) He knows what types of corruptible system we are living in, and how trouble we are. But Jesus is reluctantly to
force us to fellowship with Him, because God allowed man to make his own
decisions in the garden. Because of this, He is asking you a question that "will you do as the system demands"
What is going on today is not different from what happened
in John
6. Many peoples dwell the temple of God today but are no part
of the twelve but rather belong to the system. The twelve were special to Jesus because He choose them. So He walk to them for only one question which
He is asking us today, “Will you also go way?” ( v 67)
A very simple question but difficult to be answered by most
Christians today, because they are far for Christ or already in the system. A
true Christian will give exact answer that Peter gave to Jesus, “Lord, to whom shall we go?”
Please let us follow Christ with the aim of eternal life, this goal will let us stay focus onto Christ.
Many people followed Christ in the beginning when they saw and heard about His miracles working powers, to other food but the twelve followed Jesus for everlasting Life as Simon Peter answered so they refused to go back the system. I pray that this will be your wish as well.
