As I did my today’s meditation, I pondered upon what Jesus said to the twelve, “Do you want to go away as well?” Simon Peter answered him, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life, and we have believed, and have come to know, that you are the Holy One of God” (JOHN 6:68-69, NIV), I pondered upon how Jesus asked a question to His twelve apostles, “Do you want to leave too?” truly, I saw how Peter (pre apostolic person) had to choose among other options between choosing the door to eternal life and going back to normal life such as supporting his family again – taking the boat to catch fishes that are multiplying in the sea.
Today, I choose Jesus + having eternal life through Him and this prompts me to share the gospel of eternal life with pre-believers (able-bodied & PwDs) that they’ll have Jesus eternally. As the apostle Paul said, “I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes” (ROMANS 1:16, NIV).
Do you choose to live your current life or choose to accept the words of eternal life which Jesus gives today?
As the Psalmist said, “Whom have I in heaven but you? And there is nothing on earth that I desire besides you” (PSALM 73:25, NIV)
