Bible Commentary

John 6:66

This is one of the saddest verses in John. Many turned back — not enemies, but followers. Hard teaching and costly grace drove away those whose faith was shallow.

Memory phrase: Many walked away. Will you?

Talk about it: Have you ever wanted to give up on something hard? What helped you keep going?

Prayer: Lord, even when Your teaching is hard, give me the grace to stay close to You. I don't want to walk away.
